The Open Day on Saturday 1st. July. was successful. There were 36 visitors including members who had not seen the site before and two visitors from Cambodia who wanted to learn from our experience. BBC South came and filmed during the morning. It was shown on the BBC South news programmes on Monday 3rd. July and many people saw us.
The solar train worked all day. The sun shone. At times the site generated at full capacity.
For the first time someone saw a snake on site. Probably a grass snake!
