Orchard contract finally settled!

We now have a licence for the orchard land- which means it will be ours as soon as I get to meet the Network Rail man and he gives us the key!

We have already secured insurance and risk assessed it.

If you are interested it would be great to see you at our first Orchard Group meeting to discuss our first steps and plan a party! We have already arranged a farm meeting on the 12th October at 7.00pm at the Dorset County Museum and thought that the orchard group could come together there.

Tell anyone you think might be interested - not just in planning or physical labour but documenting through photographs or writing about and publicising the project. Please let me know if you are interested but unable to attend and I will continue to mail you.
