Thanks for coming, Stuart, your roller performed well!

Thanks too for all those who bought engines and supported the day and evening bash. Despite all the expenses the day turned out well and raised a few pounds for the ongoing work on Bardwell Windmill.

Sorry I did not take any photos, maybe Glen did??

Thanks

JW
