We were honoured and delighted to be invited to Dartmouth on Saturday 30th November to take part in the Dartmouth Mayflower year of events launch. 

Dartmouth's part in the Mayflower story:

Our technical team, two of which are shipbuilders, are installing the shaping and securing timbers for the shape of the bow! You can see the panels being fitted that will hold the external timbers.

Torridge Gates & Timber products are kindly cutting back some timber boards to a thickness of 8mm so they can be bent to take the shape.

Giles and the team from Step Back in Time TV came to the bonfire site armed with their video cameras etc. Thank you for your help and we look forward to working with on the night of the burn!!
