Open Day 2002   Each year as our excavation draws to a close, we hold a public open day to display the results of our efforts to any interested parties that choose to visit. August 3rd 2002 the day chosen turned out to be a beautiful sunny day, ideal for the constant stream of visitors who were not only treated to conducted tours of the excavation and shown displays of finds, but also were able to see pipes being made by a professional pipe maker. Many brought pipes for identification contributing to the emerging picture of product distribution in the surrounding hinterland. All ages were represented with the younger children taking part in bubble blowing whilst parents and grandparents plied our members with questions. This year out most distant visitors were Dr. Helmut Lohrer and his wife Elizabeth and children Mirjam and Simon from the Black Forrest in Germany, but on holiday in Pipe Aston.
