Hi Folks,

We’ve done the sums and glad to say POTF 2026 raised £13,525.00 for Medecins Sans
Frontieres. Everyone who bought a ticket contributed to this and in with the total is £1,000
from the raffle of John Cholmondeley’s awesome hand embroidered Aoxo jacket - a labour of love and great skill. Also included are donations from traders and Pete Williams who raised £300 for us from poster sales. Big thanks to all the friends who helped us in the bar
and with the stewarding and to Finn, Miles and Kai who brought the beautiful jam tent to
the farm and not forgetting Dave’s giant shrooms!

Oh yes and POTF goes again weekend of 9th - 11th July 2027

See you then!

Love and Peace
Will, Darren and Maya
