Breakfast with Slow FoodSlow Food Aylsham, a branch of the international Slow Food movement, is inviting members of the public to a 'Big Slow Breakfast' on Sunday 7th February. The Breakfast, which will be at 11.00am in the Friendship Hall in Aylsham, is a "get to know you" event with the opportunity to find out more about Slow Food and its activities.
Slow Food Aylsham is the not-for-profit organisation which runs the annual Aylsham Food Festival and its leader, Liz Jones, says they are planning a series of other events this year. "The Food Festival in the autumn always includes a Big Slow Breakfast", she says, "but we thought this year we would help banish the winter blues with an earlier, additional event, also giving people the chance to discover what Slow Food is all about." The traditional English breakfast (with a vegetarian option) will of course feature locally produced ingredients and it will be prepared by members of Slow Food. The cost is just £4 per person or £14 for a family of four with two children under 12 and tickets are available from Salad Days fruit & veg stall in Aylsham's Market Square. Numbers for this event are strictly limited so early booking is advisable. Sheringham Evening W.I.Sheringham Evening W.I.are starting the new year at a new venue! As from January 2010 we will be meeting on the second Monday in the month at St. Josephs Church Hall, Cromer Road, Sheringham. New members always welcome.
