At the end of 2019 the Society purchased its second quillet for £21,506.60 (including costs). Despite additional donations and sales of shares, this would not have been possible without the generous offer of an interest-free loan of £8,000 from an anonymous benefactor. Since then, it has been a priority to raise funds to repay this loan. Craft items have been knitted and sold, hedges have been laid, rustic fences constructed and apples pressed into juice – all by volunteer labour – and the final instalment of the loan has now been repaid, leaving our finances in good shape for the future. This is excellent news and only possible through the help of enthusiastic shareholders. Many thanks to all who helped.
