Sunday 18 ^th March

Mothers daytook on a whole new meaning at Prestwick farm when 45 babies were born on Sunday. The annual charity open day was the most successful ever held, when around 1300 people watched as the newborn lambs arrived throughout the day. Fortunately the weather was not as bad as expected with most of the day staying sunny but cold, the visitors queueing at the refreshments stand to keep warm with cups of tea and cocoa. When the children were not cuddling the orphan lambs they were climbing in the big tractor or getting lost in the strawbale maze.
The Naylor family from Godalming found the right square when they successfully `Spotted the Bosun`and won a day sail for two on the brig `Stavros Niarchos`. An amazing prize for the couple who were expecting a quiet day down on the farm and will now sail down the Solent out of Gunwharf quays whilst setting sails and manning the yards!

Over £3000 pounds were raised on behalf of the Tall Ships Youth Trust which is dedicated to the personal developement of young people through the crewing of tall ships. All young people can benefit from a voyage and the funds raised will assist those who struggle to pay the full amount as no youngster is ever turned away through lack of funds. The opportunity to sail as a crewmember on a large sailing ship has been known to change lives. The team work, the challenging environment when working aloft, meeting new friends and the opportunity to go ashore in a foreign port is an experience that most youngsters never forget. Prestwick Farm are delighted that at least eight young people can now enjoy such a voyage thanks to the generosity of the local people and the help of the Haslemere District Explorer Scouts who did a great job manning the entrance gate, the car park and the straw maze.
