 3.30- 4.00 Tea/coffee, cake

NB: Phil and Avril have requested that NO DOGS be taken to this event.

Sarah Mills from Parsonage Farm, www.parsonage-farm.co.uk (http://www.parsonage-farm.co.uk), will be presenting the talk on charcuterie at Avril & Phillip Wooster’s event. Sarah and her husband John have been involved in making charcuterie for some time now and her enthusiasm for the subject and knowledge makes for a very interesting talk.

Should you wish to attend please do let us know by Monday 6th July. There is a £5 charge to cover the buffet lunch provided which is payable by Paypal on our website. Please pm me should you wish to attend
