?he'Il?sort?that?out?with?you .

And?do?I?give?him?the?

payment

?as?well?

No,?you?do?that?directly?with?me.

Right. Now is there anything I need to know about what happens

during the event?

Well, as you'll be aware, of course the building is no smoking

throughout.

Of course.

Now, are you having a band?

Yes.

Well, they'll have a lot of equipment,

so rather than using the front door they should park their van

round the back and use the stage door there.

You can open that from inside but don't forget to lock it at

the end.

OK.

And talking of bands, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this,

but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black

box by the fire door

that's a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain

level. It's a legal requirement.

Sure. Anyway, we want people to be able to talk to one another

so we don't want anything too loud.

Oh, that reminds me, we'll be having speeches-are there any

microphones available?

Yeah. Just let the caretaker know, he'll get those for you.

Right, now when the event is over we do ask that the premises

are left in good condition.

So there's a locked cupboard and you'Il be informed of the code

you need to open that.

It's got all the cleaning equipment, brushes and detergent and

so on.

Right, so what do we need to do after everyone's gone?

Sweep the floors I suppose?

Well actually they have to be washed not just swept.

Then you'll be provided with black plastic bags,

so all the rubbish must be collected up and left outside the

door.

Of course. We'll make sure everything's left tidy.

Oh. and I forgot to ask.

I presume we can have decorations in the room?

Yes, but you must take them down afterwards.

Sure.

And the chairs and tables should be stacked up neatly at the

back of the room.

I'll make sure I've got a few people to help me.

Section 2

Welcome to the Fiddy Working Heritage Farm.

This open-air museum gives you the experience of agriculture

and rural life in the English countryside at the end of the

nineteenth century.

So you'll see a typical farm of that period, and like me, all

the staff are dressed in clothes of that time.

I must give you some advice and safety tips before we go any

further.

As it's a working farm, please don't frighten or injure the

animals.

We have a lot here, and many of them are breeds that are now

quite rare.

And do stay at a safe distance from the tools:

some of them have sharp points which can be pretty dangerous,

so please don't touch them.

We don't want any accidents, do we?

The ground is very uneven, and you might slip if you're wearing

sandals

so I'm glad to see you're all wearing shoes - we always advise

people to do that.

Now, children of all ages are very welcome here, and usually

even very young children love the ducks and lambs,

so do bring them along next time you come.

I don't think any of you have brought dogs with you, but in

case you have,

I'm afraid they'll have to stay in the car park, unless they're

guide dogs.

I'm sure you'll understand that they could cause a lot of

problems on a farm.

Now let me give you some idea of the layout of the farm.

The building where you bought your tickets is the New Barn,

immediately to your right,

and we're now at the beginning of the main path to the farmland

—

and of course the car park is on your left.

The scarecrow you can see in the car park in the corner beside

the main path,

is a traditional figure for keeping the birds away from crops,

but our scarecrow is a permanent sculpture.

It's taller than a human being, so you can see it from quite a

distance.

If you look ahead of you you'll see a maze.

It's opposite the New Barn beside the side path that branches

off to the right just over there.

The maze is made out of hedges which are too tall for young

children to see over them,

but it's quite small, so you can't get lost in it!

Now can you see the bridge crossing the fish pool further up

the main path?

If you want to go to the cafe go towards the bridge and turn

right just before it.

Walk along the side path and the cafe's on the first bend you

come to.

The building was originally the schoolhouse, and it's well over

a hundred years old.

As you may know, we run skills workshops here,

where you can learn traditional crafts like woodwork and

basket-making.

You can see examples of the work, and talk to someone about the

courses, in the Black Barn.

If you take the side path to the right here just by the New

Barn you'll come to the Black Barn just where the path first

bends.

Now I mustn't forget to tell you about picnicking, as I can see

some of you have brought your lunch with you.

You can picnic in the field, though do clear up behind you, of

course.

Or if you'd prefer a covered picnic area there's one near the

farm yard:

just after you cross the bridge there's a covered picnics spot

on the right.

And the last thing to mention is Fiddy House itself.

From here you can cross the bridge then walk along the foot

path through the field to the left of the farm yard.

That goes to the house, and it'll give you a lovely view of it.

It's certainly worth a few photographs, but as it's a private

home, I'm afraid you can't go inside.
