OPEN DAYS FOR 2010

 

Oldland 2008
Open Days in 2010 - EVENT DAYS
11 am to 4 pm

 
Report on our Sunday 2nd May open day

The day was the wettest Event Day we've encountered at Oldland since we commenced opening the mill to the public, with no let up in the rain throughout the day. The new marquee was well and truly christened but there was not enough wind to turn the sweeps. A total of six Morris Sides braved the elements, some members managing to hold an umbrella as well as their traditional sticks! However, the rain did not stop Pete the Magician putting on two more of his superb shows for the children.

A steady trickle of hardy supporters took advantage of the shuttle bus from the Thatched Inn to get to the mill. Their generous donations were probably largely in sympathy for the 'drowned rats' manning the various stalls! However, we covered our costs and managed to raise sufficient income to cover a couple of months insurance on the mill.
