The Work of a Butcher
The work of a Butcher can be divided into two main areas – retail and wholesale. The Retail Butcher cuts up and prepares animal carcasses for retail sales. The range of duties includes preparing cuts of meat to order, handling cash and serving at the counter. The Retail Butcher may also make sausages and burgers and must have a thorough knowledge about cuts of meat in order to advise customers. The Wholesale Butcher bones, cuts and packs meat for sale to Retail Butchers, Catering Butchers, restaurants and hotels as well as to overseas customers. Meat is cut from a carcass into various quantities and sizes and then carefully stored in boxes and refrigerated until sold. The Butcher is responsible for cleaning tools and working areas at the end of the day. (more…)
A Monster Craft Fair was held in the Leisure Centre on Sunday 19th November.
This was a new venture for the committee and was undertaken with some trepidation. However, thanks to the hard work and enthusiasm of everyone involved, the event proved to be a huge success.
All the available exhibition space was taken up, with a total of 40 stalls displaying a huge variety of crafts – candles, ironcraft, woodcraft, decoupage etc.
The organisers ran a cake sale and raffle which were highly successful. The face painting, hair braiding, nail art, lucky dip etc. for the young people attracted a steady interest for the duration of the entire day. Refreshments were served and the seasonal decoration of the venue all combined to present the centre in a totally new light. (more…)

Following our recent spell of fine weather where the ground dried out and soil and air temperatures rose, growth began in earnest.
Trees are beginning to break into leaf and soon you will notice al the flowering cherries and flowering crabs break into bloom.
In the vegetable garden you can start planting. Seed potatoes can be still sown, British Queens as second earlies and the maincrop varieties of Records, Roosters, Kerr Pinks, and Golden Wonders. Cabbage plants, particularly ‘Early York’ plants can be sown now. Plant sets and shallots (onions) now also. The seeds of other vegetables could also be started now. Getting vegetable seeds off to a good start is a very important factor for successful vegetable growing. If the seeds are weakened by unfavourable soil conditions, the young plants may struggle to become established and may not do that well. There is the problem of gaps in the row of seedlings, caused by variations of conditions along the row. (more…)

Prior to the meeting, a Commemorative Stone erected at the pitch and grounds to honour deceased members was blessed by Canon Noel Mullin and was followed by Mass for all deceased members with special remembrance for the late Paul Kenny (20) whose tragic loss was a devastating blow to all.
