92 year old Cecil Noaks and his amazing rope making machine ….what a champion!

 Festival of Forgotten skills 2013

What a special day…….thanks you so much to everyone involved. It’s days like these that make everything we are doing feel worth it. There was an immense generosity of spirit and a true sense of community as families wandered from one demonstration to another and became involved in activities.

We loved every minute of it and look forward to more so please let us know if you would like to be involved next time.   Here’s a few pics of the day……….
