2011

All spring, work continued fitting out the County Office and upstairs meeting space. The office moved to Lower Grange Farm in July.

The work was carried out by a mix of volunteers (including the stair and heating installation), young people, Active Support and contractors.

Our busiest year yet saw thousands of young people camp including Scouts, Guides, DofE, Colleges, Schools, Youth services, rugby clubs to include a few. As well as this the site hosted a really diverse range of events including 'Honk!' where students from Chichester University turned the barn into a theatre for a weekend!

Lots of new areas were planted and the old hay cart at the back of the barn was sold to a restorer.

Christmas saw a tree as tall as the barn and a fantastic Christmas event supported by over 300 visitors.
