Thursday 15th. The Bridport Town walk- about led by the Mayor, Councillor Geoffrey Ackerman.
The Civic Party was met by the Mayor at Mountfield to view the Millennium Tapestry and have coffee with him.
We then travelled by coach to the Old Brewery for a conducted tour of the brewery. Our guide was very informative and took us round the entire brewery explaining the process from start to finish and ending with a glass of ale the brewery shop.
Then a return to the Town Hall for a good lunch and rest after the morning walk ! In the town hall we viewed the Fra Newbery Collection of paintings.
We then travelled by coach to Gore Cross Business Park, Bradpole to visit Huck
Nets UK Ltd. You see the result of this work everyday in football nets, tennis nets, bird nets- you name it they make it.
The final visit was to The Salt House at West Bay and a short outdoor talk before we had tea and made our way home. Congratulations to Cllr Ackerman for putting together an interesting day . I certainly know more about Breweries and net factories than I did before . The pictures were taken at both.
