Ratting Day
Ratting Day was held on Friday 21st May. The day was fine with the lee at the Settlement but a bit of breeze at the patches. Overall thought it was a decent day and at least it didn’t rain.
Fewer rats were caught this year than on previous years. This was the result of the project that has been in place for the past year with bait boxes of rat poison being put in the patches area to keep the rat population down. A total of 426 rat-tails were caught on the day. The prize of the most tails caught going to Bill’s Hill and the longest tail caught going to BIlls Hill and the Twitty Patch.
