Report for April 2009
Bid Trim our president welcomed us all and gave an update on many projects & extra activities our group is involved with.Rose Ingram (treasurer) reported a healthy bank balance and that we have 37 fully paid up members, which is a good number.
The guest speaker was Barbara Beavis from Le Gruyere Swiss cheese, she was an excellent speaker. We learnt so much about the making of this particular cheese and about the cows that produce the milk for the cheese .Apparently they graze on the pastures and wild flowers of Switzerland and are not fed silage as this affects the taste of the cheese. Then the best part, when we sampled the cheeses, she also made a delicious fondue which we had on chunks of crusty bread. Barbara had even made some cheese tartlets which she served warm with our afternoon tea. Very nice!!
Next month ( Weds 6th May) is our resolutions meeting which is at 2.00pm at the community hall. We would be very happy for any new faces to come along and see what we get up to, so why not join us?
Heather Northfield and Jenny Sargent
