Thank you to everyone who joined us on the 27th Feb for our 'Green Living' event and a very special thank you to all the other organisations who came along and helped promote their local produce, energy efficiency and green living tips.

We are pleased to announce that the winner of the 'Taste the Distance' competition was Jill Therkelsen.  Entrants had to guess the difference in the number of food miles between an apple cake made with local ingredients compared to one made with supermarket sourced ingredients.  The answer was that the supermarket apple cake ingredients had travelled a total of 20,615 miles whereas the one made with local ingredients totalled only 274 food miles, a difference of 75 times.  Jill cames closest to guessing this difference with an entry of 72 times which won her a prize of a hamper of local produce.

Runners up were Jean Lovegrove with a guess of 100 times and Sarah Lees came 3rd with her guess of 120 times.

The recipes and other details will be published soon.
