Hi all


I have been in touch with a couple of WI people including Thelma (WI Surrey) who have confirmed that we are allowed to sell our cakes to the public as long as they are wrapped (clingfilm suggested) and they don't need to be fridged (so no fresh cream, etc). It would also be helpful to label ingredients -nuts, etc so we know exactly what we are selling if asked.


I have also spoken to Mark who reconfirmed that we can use some of their forum space. The space is apparently enough to fit a trestle table to display our cakes. My next step is to give the festival organisers a courtesy call just to double check they have no objections to our presence there (can't think why they would) and also to enquire about hiring a trestle table. So, further details tba.


In the meantime please let me know if 1) you are going to contribute a cake and 2) what you are going to make (we don't want to end up with 50 fruit cakes and nowt else, do we!) and 3) if you can assist on the day.


Thanks

Tracey

I have to declare an interest, I think I may be involved in the "competition" - which is a cake stall fundraising for a local community charity (a nursery).


We did it last year and we cleaned up. Probably because we were the only stall with lovely homemade cakes and we weren't charging an absolute fortune. I'm not clear what the nascent young and trendy WI are raising funds for exactly - but its probably just sour buttercream...


Last year we sold out in less than 2 hours and we had masses of stock - there's evidently a demand for delicious sugary stuff thats not being satisfied.


(Edit: I mean, its probably sour buttercream on my part - not that you're raising money for sour buttercream or that your efforts are going to involve sour buttercream :-$- I got lost in a rubbish sugar based adaption of a figure of speech)

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
