Date, Sunday 1st October 2017, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.


 


Admission, £2.00, accompanied children free.


 


Light refreshments available.

I had a wander round this morning and it was good to talk to old friends. My thanks to everyone for a very pleasant couple of hours.

 

Good of you to come along, glad you enjoyed it.

 

We had a really enjoyable and successful day and hope to repeat it in a couple of years time.
