We had a brief recap of the
fete at the July meeting, no overall profit figure at that point but Mary
thought both the ice creams and tombola had done well and there should be a
reasonable pay out as both the weather and footfall had been quite good.
Members had enjoyed the Kilmersdon
supper evening and the re-located first Friday lunch, the latter due to be back
in the Bell on 2nd August. Numbers had been down for the last coffee
morning and Barbara would monitor these to check if worth continuing.
Final reminder for the ACWW
walk on Friday 9th August, meet at 2pm at the Hall for about an
hour’s walk followed by tea and cake at a member’s house. We then have the
Presidents evening on Monday 12th from 6pm on the Rec Field, with a
chance to try golf croquet. Please bring along a plate of finger food to share,
sweet or savoury, which we will probably eat around 7.30pm, the drinks will be
provided by the committee.
Our entertainment was a
tasting session which committee members had spent a long time putting together.
It was worth their efforts, providing an enjoyable and informative evening. The
categories included items such as digestive biscuits, sausages and chocolate.
Nearly all had a choice of three samples, mainly with one popular brand item
and two different own supermarket’s offerings. We had to choose which one we
preferred in each section, not knowing of course which was which. Many of the more
expensive brand options did come out of top but there were also some surprises,
not least the tap water beating both the bottled offerings. So we can sometimes
save some money without sacrificing the quality.
