“I’d like to say a special thank you to each and every household who generously opened their doors to the public, as well as to all who visited and donated.

“Thanks too to the Visitor Centre and TD15@Robertsons for pre-selling tickets and to all who generously supported the publicity effort.

“Finally, hats off to the small but dedicated organising team for keeping this important event running for eight years.”
