                          Saturday 13th August 2011
                          What a fantastic turn out for our this event! Ruth Wheeler helped us carve the sleepers into seats. She also refined our designs and let us use power tools! We all learnt a new skill - some perfected it more than others! But everyone had a great time.

                          Friday 22nd April 2011
                          Great fun was had by all as Simon set up a disco inside the Polytunnel! It was a very chilled and relaxed evening where friends and family could come along to see what we had been spending our Saturdays doing.
                          Unfortunately we have no photos to show as I didn't have a flash on my camera phone :(
