Fernhill in autumn: talks, the mill, and the year's dues

A busy autumn ahead

Welcome to the September newsletter. Three things this month.

The autumn programme

The season opens on 8 October with our archivist's talk on the old mill and its water — the first proper account of the weir since the 1974 survey. Members come free; guests are $4 on the door, which covers the hall and the tea.

Riverside working morning

We will be back on the path on 19 November, clearing the culvert and re-hanging the gate at the north end. Boots and gloves; the society brings tools, biscuits and a flask.

Dues 2026

The year's dues are $25.00, due on 1 June. If you have already paid, thank you — the reminder below only goes to those we have not recorded yet.

— Margaret Ellis, Chair
