Bacton & District W.I. Meeting July 2nd 2012At our July meeting we were lucky enough to have asour speaker local cookery guru Helen Hardy who treatedus to a lively and interesting talk about her experiencesas a cookery writer in South Africa, to which she hadtravelled at the tender age of 21. Helen illustrated hertalk with various magazine articles and many cookerybooks from her illustrious career. She had also printedout for us leaflets containing ‘retro’ recipes such asSmoked Mackerel Pate as well as some typical South African recipes. Not onlythat but Helen also brought with her some delicious treats for us to sample.Our next meeting which is on Monday August the 6th will feature AnnyaStoddart telling us all about Acupuncture. Some of our members havevolunteered to be guinea pigs so it should be very interesting as well as,hopefully, rejuvenating. The competition is ‘Your Favourite Health Tip’ and, as Ican’t be there, the meeting will be run by our vice-president, Angela Cook.Amanda Manley, President of Bacton and District W.I.1 st BACTON SCOUT GROUPMrs Karen Hall-Price – 1 st Bacton Scout Group Secretary1 Canham’s Farm Cottages, Cow Green, Bacton IP14 4HHTel. 01449 780332 / 07812 105228We have had a very successful summer term - our summer fairand BBQ managed to dodge the rain and I would like to say abig thank you to each and everyone that supports our fundraising events helping to raisemuch needed funds for the group, from our leaders, committee members and parents tothe members of the public.
