Dear Member,

Wow, what a scorcher we're having and how lucky we were that we had good weather for the summer barbeque.

Although I couldn't make this event I was really happy to hear how well it had gone, so my thanks go to the Cathedral Lodge for their hard work and to Jane Wallace for organising it all.

Thanks also to everyone who came along and said hello at the Ashford B2B exhibition and those who showed interest in joining.
The renewal letters will be going out soon so please don't forget to renew.

On Wednesday 14th July at 19.15hrs we are holding our Food for Thought event at Howfield Manor Hotel. This is going to be a really good event with lots of food to try out and  a chance to find out more about local food producers in the area.
Please confirm your place with me - see details below.

We won't be having a meeting in August, but I will be sending out more details of the first event of our new year - yes, more food and this time at The Chapter Arms, Chartham. You can book already so please contact
Diana Stampe - see below for details.
 

Have a really good summer break - I'm going away with my 3yr old, my 9yr old nephew and my mum - wish me luck!

 

Best Wishes

Sharon
