Sometime in the past a Speight Dray was given to the Sawyers Arms. This sat outside the pub for many years and was used for many group photos. It is now in a very bad state of repair (see photo in post) and has recently been offered back to the pub. To restore it we will need a lot of support from many skilled people in the community. To avoid the possibility of any future publican disposing of th
e dray again, a Trust has been set up to receive, restore and own this piece of Tikokino history. The first move is to get the dray moved to its new home. While restoration is in process it will be housed in the old stable behind the Sawyers Arms. This move will happen within the next week. If any one would like to be involved in our project we would love to hear from you. We will be doing a number of fundraising projects in the near future, applying for grants and would appreciate any donations. If you would like to donate contact us on email and we will send you our details. Alternatively we are in the process of setting up a "Give a Little" page. The Trust is a registered Charity and therefore any donations are tax deductible. We will post photos as we progress.
