A chance to see the Hardwick Collection of Stationary Engines by courtesy of Mr Derrick Hardwick. This extensive collection includes several open-crank, hot bulb and gas engines, together with closed crank engines (Lister, Petter etc), which were common on farms and dairies up to quite recent times. It is planned to have them running during the visit. If it’s anything like last year, it’ll be a great afternoon out!

All are welcome and the price is £5 per head with accompanied children under 12 going free (please ensure they are supervised at all times).

Booking is essential before 15th July and can be done by emailing John Anning: anningj354@gmail.com

All proceeds will be given to Mr Hardwick for running costs etc.

Directions: Take the B4059 turning to Yate off the A38 at Rudgeway, or Junction 14 off the M5, then map read otherwise sat/nav.
