MARGARET Coulson the President welcomed members on a hot evening to taste some summer cookery prepared by member Liz Whattler.

But first some business, the Secretary Jenny Treasure placed the minutes of the last meeting on the table for members to read later. Jenny read the correspondence, members had received invites from Cradley WI to join them for a walk around Cradley and lunch on September 9 and Bosbury WI to dress up and attend their Vintage Tea Party on September 27. Some items were read from the County Newsletter and boards placed on the table for member to add their names to if they wished to attend. Members were informed the writers group would meet at Doreen's, Luncheon Club would be eating at Pascal’s in Church Lane and Craft/Sewing would be at Mary’s

The President then invited Liz to tickle our taste buds. Liz informed members she was a Domestic Science Teacher and to ask questions anytime whilst she was finishing the dishes she had cooked and chilled earlier, also Liz had produced a copy of the ingredients and method for everyone to follow.

Starters were Crostini with Roasted Vegetables and Mozzarella or Sun-Dried Tomato and Butter Bean Hummus. The main courses were Five Spice and Mango Chicken or Salmon in fresh Herb and Yoghurt Sauce.

Liz continued demonstrating with an uncooked Lemon Cheesecake and a Ricotta & Vanilla Tiramisu.

Members were surprised how much food Liz had prepared and could not wait to taste everything. It was all delicious, what a pity there was only tea or coffee to follow. A vote of thanks was given to Liz for all her hard work buying and preparing so much food and for a refreshingly different evening.

Please Note: August 13 meeting is in the afternoon at 2pm at the Parish Rooms, Catholic Church, New Street, Ledbury.

This year members are holding a Summer Craft/Produce Show, we would like all members to enter as many categories as possible. More details can be obtained by contacting any member of the Committee. Visitors are always welcome.
