Hi all,

We have someone interested in another pressing session.  They have asked
to hire the equipment if there are no community sessions.   We have now
come up with the following idea.

We will be setting up the equipment at our house on Sunday 12th to run
their crop through first.  If anyone still has fruit that could be
pressed you are welcome to come along at 3.30.  I do need to know who
will be attending and it will help if you can wash the apples
beforehand.  We still have some small bottles for juice.

The address is 49 Colgrove Rd. LE11 3NL.

I would like to open this up to neighbours but will see how many replies
I get from yourselves first.

Janet

Hi all,

We had an enjoyable pressing session on Sunday with just 6 or 7 people
chopping away.   Everyone got stuck in helping David with his cider
apples.   He brought 2 crates of pears and the juice was gorgeous unlike
the small pears that grow on campus.  We were reminded of the Herrick Rd
events that no longer happen.    A few of my neighbours are keen to run
the press in our road next year as a way of bringing the street
together.     Is that an idea for other neighbourhood?

Congratulations, Janet! Very good idea. Let’s hope we will have a more normal season next year, but the crops were great.

If you wanted to run a Herrick Road event, I could ask Roger Smith? But the
Herrick road evens might have just moved to memories now as a few people
have grown older, moved away or sadly passed away.

Kind Regards,

Sarah
