Face pained as a lion

Our open day took place on a beautiful, if rather hot, day of Sunday 28 June 2009.  This was a fun event involving music, craft activities for children, sales of craftwork and brick-a-brack, face painting and much more. Click here to find out more and for pictures.

The Trustees of R&B thank all those who contributed to making the day a great success.
