Macmillan Cancer Support  
Cricket tournament took place as planned on Sunday 15th July. A fine day and there were plently of attractions for visitors. A great deal of money was raised for the charity, many thanks to all who attended and contributed, and a special mention for the two fundraisers, Jane and Michelle who organised the event so succesfully.

The South Drive is now closed to allow coal extraction; the North Drive is open through the day for cars only please. Please take care if using the North Drive as it is narrow and rather wooded, so please keep your speed down!
