			<p>A great big thank you to everyone who attended Black Ducks launch party a couple of weeks ago – we hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. Special thanks to Mark Price from <a href="http://www.saulsofspratton.co.uk/">Saul’s of Spratton</a> for all his help and also to the guys at <a href="http://lamporthall.co.uk/">Lamport Hall</a> who let us set up and serve in their beautiful venue.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We were lucky enough to enjoy the last clear sunny day before the country was battered with back to back storms. Our set up was a breeze (pun intended) and the bars have all ended up looking better than we had hoped. Big love to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ad_lib_creative/">Jack Astbury</a> for building the modular bars – apologies if the time you spent in your workshop almost broke up your relationship!</p>
<p>This post will hopefully be the first of many. We sincerely hope that everyone who takes the time to read this enjoys the new website from <a href="http://spiro.design/">Spiro Design</a> and photos courtesy of <a href="https://www.naiad-photography.co.uk/">Neil Brownlee</a>.</p>
