- 13 September 2010 22:5870446The Crabble Corn Mill is part of the community and by that I mean Dover as a District not just River and it will always try to support events as it did yesterday and enjoyed doing so.
What was good about yesterday was not what the Mill made financially or what the Church hall or Parish Hall made but about Fun for all, at little to no cost to those who came out to enjoy the Scarecrows that many people in River had spent a lot of time making, in the name of "Fun for All".
Families out together, Mum Dad and the kids, Grandparents with their Grandchildren and yes people talking to each other and having a laugh. The weekend was a success and it was an enjoyable success.
The Mill does want support all year round, but please do not spoil a good weekend by having a go about how much we made selling cups of tea or how much someone else made. On this occasion it was about taking part in a Community event.
However look forward to seeing some of you at the Cider Festival and there will be some Real Ales.

Chairman Crabble Corn Mill Trust
Oh yes and the Local school made a good number of scarecrows they were all round their playground, I must have spent half an hour trying to tell my Granddaughter who all the Scientists were. - 13 September 2010 23:1870462Harry we will call in to the Mill in the morning we are off to Canterbury Hospital and Lesley has made some cakes for the Mill and they are good I nicked one to eat after she went to bed.

This island is run by Methodists who over the years have stopped it becoming a mini European Las Vegas despite most of the Islanders wishes to attract tourists and high rollers.Its off shore status would be ideal for a gaming centre on the now under used Fort Regent.Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 14 September 2010 08:3970497Harry as usual you post a lot of commom sense .The weekend was about fun.For those of you interested in the posting re the Methodist Church selling cream teas etc ,I think you will find they raise money to support deprived children by taking them on holiday .THe Methodist do a lot of charitable work .Its not my Church but there is always a warm welecome for everyone .
Harry has defused a rather petty posting .I know how hard he and his team work .There are lots of people in River who work tireless for their community . - 14 September 2010 08:4770500susan is right, the methodists do a lot for the community they represent especially for old people and families with young children.
