On Colwall's Apple Day people are bringing their own apples for pressing into juice. The first stage is to cut the apples into two or four pieces with a knife. Then the apple pieces are sliced up in one machine. Next (as seen in the picture) the sliced apples are put into a second "scratting" machine to chop the apples quite finely before finally the apples are crushed in the circular press.
