July 2024 Newsletter Part three

4. Dave Sy has continued to apply his woodworking skills to projects and has recently completed a guinea pig run, with all the mod cons. Who better to be the test guinea pig but Charlie Farnes, who was displaying his Houdini skills. Knowing Charlie like I do, am sure he as slept in worse places! It looks like a Dave and Charlie illusion stage act I presume the run was padlocked Dave?!

5. We have been offered the sharing of an allotment near Forest End. Fees are around £60:00 per year. If any member is interested please contact me and I will put you in touch with the person offering the plot.
