Life in Beckworth » abattoir http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth Bringing you the (almost) everyday comings and goings of the residents of Beckworth, a typical English market town. Informing you about their lives through the mediums of words, images, an interactive map and stereophonic sound recordings Sun, 01 Feb 2026 00:56:14 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 Local Abattoir Opens It’s Doors http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/job-centre/local-abbertoir-opens-its-doors/ http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/job-centre/local-abbertoir-opens-its-doors/#comments Tue, 28 May 2013 16:29:48 +0000 a resident of Beckworth http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/?p=1085 Continue reading →]]> Hello. Just a reminder that this Saturday our local abattoir (Blind Glenn’s Meat Processing on the Slocombe Road, next to the outdoor swimming pool) is throwing open it’s door as part of the Government’s national Hey Scrounger, Get A Job programme. It’s guaranteed to be an exciting day out for all the family and although aimed at the bone idle members of the community everyone is welcome. So come and meet the animals, try the equipment and at the end of the day take home some cheap meat or sheepskin coat you’ve just seen made. For the partially sighted and blind we’ve got animal recognition classes (would you know your ass from your heffer just by touch?), and for the able-bodied there are demonstrations on animal restraint, halal slaughter and hygienic effluent disposal. For the under-fives there’s Pin The Tail On The Carcass, an Ice Cream van and, weather permitting, donkey rides. It really will be fantastic, so see you there.

By the way, more local employers are promising similar open days so keep watching this space. Ruth Freshford. Manager. JobCentrePlus
