Weald Inside Out - 12th October |
|
Well yet another great day. Although entries where down a little, it just goes to show it was all worth while to still stage the event with everyone who attended having a really super day. The day started very misty, but as it wore on the sun won its battle with the clouds and soon jumpers were discarded and shirt sleeves where the order of the day. |

The forest was at its most beautiful, dressed in golds and greens, but the weather wasn’t going to provide sun and a blue sky; instead it rained which was a shame. However, it wasn’t cold and nine turnouts braved the elements and enjoyed the drive that Pete and Rita Flack had marked out for us. There was a long route, about seven and a half miles, and a short route of about four. Most did the long route and although we returned wet and muddy everybody had a smile on their faces and then had a cuppa and home made cakes provided by Sheila Luck’s mum! Barrie Luck checked us all out and in again, accompanied by Joy Claxton. |

A visit to Fairbourne Carriages |
|
Jane and Nick Wood and their family hosted us to a most interesting evening at Fairbourne Mill, the home of their carriage restoration business. We were treated to a tour and commentary from Nick, with a brief history and description of the many interesting and rare carriages in various stages of restoration, and also a completed park drag and road coach. This was followed by a sandwich supper and a small raffle. The evening was really well attended by about 40 people of whom quite a few were from the Kipling Group, as well as friends and club members. |
