MVWI - PHYSICAL March Meeting - Cookery Workshop

Our very own Kate McBain will be taking us through a cookery workshop.  She will tell us a few interesting anecdotes of life in the food industry. We will then be making biscuits.  You will need to bring the following equipment along to the venue.  Kate will be providing all the ingredients.

• biscuit cutters – if you so wish
• tray or box to take the uncooked biscuits home in.

If you wish to add raisins or chopped nuts or fruit to your biscuits, feel free to bring them along.

We will be preparing the biscuit mixture ready for you to bake when you get home.

For those of you who would prefer to make vegan or gluten free biscuits please let us know when you RSVP.   The cut-off date for responding and letting us know your preference is 24th March.

We will be meeting at St. Andrew’s & St. Mark’s CofE Junior School, Maple Road, Surbiton, KT6 4AL

NFWI Meeting Recommendations

· Please stay at home if you have any Covid symptoms or have received receive a positive LFT.

· Inform your WI Committee if you attended a WI meeting/activity and have tested positive for Covid in the last 10 days.

· Where possible, it is still recommended that members carry out a rapid lateral flow test before attending a meeting to ensure they are not unknowingly infected with Covid.

· Members who are clinically at high-risk are advised to decide carefully whether attending face-to-face is a safe option for them in the chosen venue and situation.
