The event is due to take place in the afternoon of June 5th 2010 and is limited to only 40 people.

As well as your host Leon Powsney and his lovely wife Jan, the following will also be present: Alf ( Elf ) Molyneux talking about his memories of Fred, author Alan McEwen will give a talk as well as other surprise guests.

We are told that there will be food galore, refreshments will be served including the famous flat cap ale made by the local brewer.

Visitors will be treated to a guided tour of the house and yard, including:

• tours of Fred’s workshed
• take a walk around his main workshop where the steam roller and tractor used to be kept
• the top of swan mill chimney in the garden
• the mineshaft, which is now lit up showing it’s immaculate brickwork and workmanship
• the beautiful 50ft chimney in the garden

For anyone travelling a distance accommodation can be arranged locally for everyone else travelling by car (one of the issues that delayed the initial planning permission) is promised ample parking facilities.

If you have any further questions about the event please post below, in our forum or email Leon directly.
