The weather was good to us, and we were able to get on well, with newcomers Chris and Samara getting stuck in and contributing well.
Although there were only 11 cutters they all worked like troupers and the end result was very pleasing and the product will be used at Training Day 1 on 8 October.
The role of honour of those who did attend were:-
- Angus
- Stuart
- Peter
- Pat
- Samara
- Chris
- Iain
- Mark
- Frank
- Tim
- Matthew
Thanks also must go to the landowner, Sue , who supplied the teas and coffees and very generously gave us all a pot of honey from her beehives.
Coppicing Day 2 is at Wakehurst Place Ardingly on 19 November- if you are a member of the Society and would like to attend, email Matthew Beard at [email protected]. If you are not a member of the Society, please join please email Mark Scofield at [email protected]. It would be great to get more than 20 cutters out that day.
