<strong>Issue</strong> 2 <strong>Mar</strong>ch/<strong>Apr</strong>il <strong>2012</strong><br />
The Trade Show season gets going with<br />
NFFF attending two great shows<br />
With the year now in full swing, the NFFF were proud to attend the first two <strong>of</strong> this year’s<br />
scheduled trade shows.<br />
Starting at the Friars Pride FRY I.T show in Peterborough, President Gregg Howard made it a<br />
family affair enlisting the help <strong>of</strong> both his son George and daughter Lydia along with George’s<br />
girlfriend Pheobe. Helping to spread the word about the new NFFF Quality Award booklet ‘The<br />
Official guide to the UK’s top <strong>Fish</strong> and Chip shops’ , we had an enthusiastic response at both<br />
shows to the new scheme, with <strong>friers</strong> keen to get involved and signing up at the events. The<br />
Friars Pride show proved to be such a success that is has now recently been announced that it<br />
will become an annual event as <strong>of</strong> 2013.<br />
The Henry Colbeck ‘What’s Cooking?’show took the trade up across the border to Edinburgh.<br />
A packed show saw plenty <strong>of</strong> NFFF enquiries and new members signing up to keep the team<br />
busy. The customary dinner was held the night before in the distinguished surroundings <strong>of</strong> the<br />
nearby <strong>Mar</strong>riot Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club with NFFF Treasurer Andrew Crook being the<br />
lucky winner <strong>of</strong> a portable DVD player in the charity raffle!<br />
Over the course <strong>of</strong> the two shows several new products had their first outing with notable new<br />
launches including the new Drywite ‘4 Seasons’ potato preparation, two new sausages from<br />
Henry Colbeck, the smoked ‘Smosage’ and chilli infused ‘Kicker’, and in more good news for<br />
fans <strong>of</strong> spicy food, the new Heinz/Amoy Sweet Chilli ‘SqueezeMe’ sachet.<br />
We would like to thank all the organisers for putting on two great events and bringing in a<br />
captive audience <strong>of</strong> <strong>friers</strong>, managers and shop owners from across the country. Next up is the<br />
FRY Fast Food show in Coventry, 16th September <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
