Friday 20th June:
The traditional Engine Pull from the Community Centre to The Bell Inn up Cromford Hill
Last year, Cromford dads did it... this year, Cromford mums will have the honour of pulling the engine!
No need to register to take part, just turn up on the day and start pulling. Or just watch the fun
(all participants do so at their own risk).
There will be a BBQ, live music, other entertainments at both the Community Centre and The Bell Inn.
Refreshments on offer at The Institute - the perfect watching place, halfway up the hill
The engine pull will be followed by the 1st draw of Celebrating Cromford 200 club (prize money £100 for the 1st draw, £50 monthly prize afterwards, numbers cost £12 each for the whole year, and are on sale at The Boat Inn).
