John B Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Just a reminder to all who are interested and able to attend, St Clem's day celebration is this Saturday, November 21st Finch Foundry is located in Devon, at Sticklepath, postcode EX20 2NW for the sat nav settings, The day starts at about 10.00am, and goes on until 4.30pm The water powered machinery will be run and demonstrated periodically throughout the day. Admission is free and there will be other activities taking place for those not so interested in the 'smithing, and there may even be the "firing of the anvil" just to keep you awake. There will be the Great Snail Race as usual for a bit of fun, This entails making a snail (shell, horns and a tail that is free standing) in the shortest possible time from 200mm of 10mm diameter bar which will be supplied. The other competition is to make a candlestickof your own design from metal you supply within two hours. Judging for the competitions will be at 3.30pm, Cooked breakfast and suitable refreshments throughout the day for competitors. I look forward to seeing friends old and new there, it is usually a great day out, and most enjoyable even if the weather is not so good. Apologies for poor picture quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
