The barbecue is a chance for everyone to “eat, drink and be merry” to celebrate the community’s success at raising the money they needed to enable the wind farm project to go ahead, as well as to gauge views on the best use of the eventual profits. It is also being held as an opportunity to hear from turbine manufacturers Enercon, who will be coming on site from the 3rd of June to prepare to lift the turbines into place. Enercon’s project manager, Richard Biggs, will be speaking and answering questions.
