Leaving the Royal Oak and Morgan Garage on your left, take the next left turn sign posted to Frogpool and Cold Wind Cross. Pass under the railway bridge and turn left onto Greenwith Road, (marked). Follow this road leaving a little crescent of houses on your left and soon the road bears sharp right. There are a few houses on your right and trees and fields on your left. Continue for about 3 minutes until the road bears sharp left. Do not continue on this road but take the little lane on your right which goes to Pryors Farm.* This lane has beech trees on the left and fields and hedging on the right. Longfield is the 3rd house on the left after Greensplatt House and The Beeches.

*There will be a sign marked FODO at this turning.

Before the end of this year FODO will be hosting their Christmas Party Concert at Benallack Barn. Those of you who came last year will remember the warmth of our welcome from Mr and Mrs Paul Wieczorek and the musically delightful candlelit concert and readings from Cheryl, Shelley, Anthony and Sam – not to mention canapés and fizz.  This year Naomi Johnston and her husband, Jonathan Carne, promise an equally entertaining evening of Christmas music on Thursday 12 December. With canapés and fizz, of course!   Tickets are £15 (£12 for FODO members) from Ann McCormick 01872 510850.
