Apple Day in Bradwell

Apple Day was marked on 1st November when the Group got together to sample different varieties of apple, to make some juice using Dick's shiny new press and to catch up on Ellie's trip to Belgium. Various different apple peeling and coring devices (!) were on display - and operated by willing volunteers. Apples sourced from the village, the Northern Fruit Group, Clumber Park and from Yorkshire Orchards (see links) were sampled, and the group were able to see and, just as importantly taste, the enormous diversity of English apples.

Some Bradwell apples had been taken along to apple day at Yorkshire Orchards where a nurseryman from R V Roger Nursery in Pickering was able to identify most (but not all!) of them. It appears that Tydeman's Early Worcester, Bramley, Newton Wonder and Lord Lambourne all thrive in this area.
