It is a real growing side to the sport. We’re also seeing that reflected in the shooting fashion clothing too where there is an extensive range here along with the pro-run gun room.’ ‘I need to spend more time here so that we can work out what comes next, we’ve not finished yet by a long way. There’s always someone who wants to talk to you. I used to bring my gun every day when we started but I can’t remember the last time I shot here, that’s how busy it has become.’ Tom’s father William and mum Rachel are still involved. ‘Dad is the son part of the family business CG Bayston & Son, the CG was my grandfa- ther Cyril George Bayston. Dad started the haulage business taking hay, straw, cereals, sugar beet and potatoes to the end user. The business Sharon and I have created at Park Lodge is dealing directly with end users all the time and it’s going well.’ ‘We also have two heirs to the overdraft in Will (10) and Lottie (7). Will got his shotgun certificate a year ago making him probably the youngest ever to have one in East York- shire! He enjoys the sport.’ While pigs, cattle, sheep and hens are no longer a part of Pollington Grange there is another form of animal very much in residence. ‘We’ve been invaded by horses,’ says Tom. ‘Sharon breeds and competes as a one-day eventer.’ Cycling is one of Tom and Sharon’s favourite pastimes away from the farm and Park Lodge. They are looking forward to a Belgian cycling holiday in the near future. Park Lodge has already won several awards through Doncaster Chamber of Com- merce and East Riding Business Awards. It has also been shortlisted in several this year with the winners have yet to be announced. One of those is in the CLA’s Rural Business Awards as Best Rural Retail Business in the North.
