Some of us went to Blackbrook Farm where, as part of a Dry Stone Wall Building training weekend, Will had organised an Arch Building competition. With the help of one of the trainers and a trainee, the Crosspool Harvest team built the strongest arch!!!

We now have some practical skills to offer in this traditional art.

We have taken legal advice and decided that the best thing for the long-term future of Crosspool Harvest is to become incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee, but with Articles that make clear that all profits will be used to support the project and any assets that are left if/when Crosspool Harvest comes to an end will be passed to another organisation with similar aims.

This will provide some measure of protection for our members in the event of anything going badly wrong and also simplifies the process of entering into contracts such as leases for land.

This was agreed at a recent meeting of Members in July.
