Just one day this year, maybe another at the beginning of next year. Hope to see one or two there, hope we have enough water to run the turbine, we're probably in for a drought this year, so here's hoping.

Here we go again, didn't have an open day last year, but we are having one this year, on the 19 / 11 / 17, 10am to 4pm.

I should have one or two of my motors there, and with any luck there will be enough water to run the Turbine, and a driop of diesel so we can run the Ruston Hornsby HR 6.

The B point on the left side of the map marks the spot, about 50K from Christchurch.

I live at Darfield, but not in South Yorkshire, or British Columbia(Canada), but about 10K to the East of Homebush. Christchurch was settled by a Church of England group, after they bought the area (swamp) from the Scottish Deans family, who subsequently moved 50K to the west to the inland edge of the Canterbury Plains, near the foot hills of the Southern Alps, and named their farm Homebush.

If you continue west past Sheffield you will get to Springfield, and there you will find a very large Dough Nut, with a bite out of it, it was donated by the outfit the makes the TV program "The Simpsons". You can find all sorts of weird things around this country.

Go to Dunedin, and you will find a lot of Scottish names of places, and streets, but I don't think there were any Welsh settlements.
