Thanks to everyone for a great March meeting!

Wow! What a fab meeting in March - everyone got well and truly stuck in and seemed to be having a fantastic time. 

Big thanks to Linda Galloway for her fabulous food and of course, for picking out the delicious wine. 

A wonderful time was shared by all as we compared 6 different wines with 6 foods. It was a surprising and educational event.

Thanks to Linda for all her hard work!! Linda’s catering company is called Daffodil Soup.
