Ok Ian,
Is there anybody else that can give me a hand collecting these on Friday 8th and
returning them on the 10/11th? I'm not sure how many I can get in my car.
Although it's only in Leyton, I don't fancy making more than one trip as I
reckon I'll be too busy with the shelter.

Hi Cliff
Here's the response I got from the contact Bridget gave - I've responded
saying that sounds great and told her as you'd already emailed about
this I'll ask you to get back to her, rather than two of us emailing -
hope that's Ok, just saves any confusion.

Good afternoon Ian,
We can do 5 hay and 5 straw judging on the quantity we will have in
stock around the 9th. If this is ok you can come and collect on the 8th
and bring back on the 10th/11th.
Please note you will need to have persons with you able to lift and
carry the bales.
We don’t have a set price for borrowing the bales, organisations
normally make a donation to the farm.
I hope this helps,
Rachel Douglas

Hi
We have a street party every year here on Elmfield Road E17 and our 9th
event is coming up on September 9th. Every year we keep saying we should
sort out some straw or hay bales for people to sit on, but it just never
gets done.
Our neighbours on Chester Road, who always seem to get this sorted for
their party, tell us they usually hire or borrow bales from your farm
and gave Rachel as a contact name.
Do you think it might be possible for us to hire (or borrow) about 10
bales for September 9th? If so we could arrange collection/return etc.
Do let me know if you need any more info from us regarding this request.
Best wishes
Ian Francis
