SUCCESS AT THE ROYAL BATH & WEST
|
||
The Kington Cider Company gained a First and a Second in the OC10 (Sweet) and OC08 (Medium)
cider classes at the Royal Bath & West Show. I reckon that the judges particularly liked Kington's cider
as they had "sampled" it more than any other cider in the marquee!!!

OPEN FARM DAY
10th June saw Open Farm Day and Park Mill Farm was open to visitors on the Sunday. Under blue skies, Vicki
Garrett (second from left in the maroon polo-shirt) conducted tours around the farm proudly showing off their
450 strong Fresian herd and their unusual New Zealand style open-sided milking parlour. She also shared with
us the news that they are going organic and are hoping to get their accreditation next year.

OLDBURY FUN RUN
Father's Day was on the 17th this year so that meant it's was Fun Run day in Oldbury and the weather was, as
it usually is, fine. There were two starts this year, the serious runners were off at 11:00 sharp followed 10
minutes later by the Fun Runners. Results on the Fun Run website.
Waiting for the runners back in the village was an array of festivities and stalls; organic burgers and hot dogs,
ice creams, beer festival, tug-of-war competition, fun fair rides, displays, cakes, teas, plants and books.
