At
our club meeting on Wednesday 24th May 2023, our guest speaker was
Maddy Knowles who came to give us a presentation about her trip
to Peru in August 2022. She went with a group of young people all
of whom were members of the National Federation of Young Farmers
Club. She was the only representative from Cornwall. The trip was
arranged through a company called Projects Abroad. Her exciting
experience was divided into two. Firstly, a period of volunteering
and secondly a period of sightseeing all over the course of two
weeks.Maddy described her whole experience with great enthusiasm.
She initially stayed with a host family in Cusco, a village high
up in the mountains. The family were kind and friendly. She attended
three venues where she worked voluntarily. She shared photos of
herself and others during her presentation which showed her fully
involved.The first venue was helping at a kindergarten situated
in a poor, deprived village. One of the activities involved guiding
the children through a practice run in the event of an earthquake
alarm being activated which made a big impression on her.
Her second destination was at an elderly people's home where they
had a large shed in which to grow strawberries presumably to sell
in order to raise funds. Maddy described the hot conditions where
they worked punching holes through polythene sheets in which they
planted many rows of strawberry plants.
The final voluntary placement took place at an animal sanctuary.
She showed us photos of Peruvian bears that had been rescued and
being cared for before being released back into the wild.
Following the voluntary work, Maddy embraced the tourism trail selected
which included a trip to Mach Picchu. The historical site clearly
made a huge impression on her and being justly described as one
of the great wonders of the world. She visited Pisac, a typical
Peruvian village where she learned about cultural aspects of life
including seeing their traditional clothing, dancing and seeing
the variety of souvenirs the villagers made to sell. In addition,
she had hands on experience about how to make mud bricks which are
used to build homes in the village.
Her final tourism trip was to Rainbow Mountain which was a remarkable
geographical site. It was so named 10 years ago when it was first
discovered. Due to climate change the snow covering the mountain
had melted revealing the extraordinary sight of horizontal coloured
tripes in various shades of brown, green and yellow. She rode a
pony to the summit from where she had a magnificent view.
Maddy gave us a fascinating insight into her adventure in Peru.
Our club member Beatrice Dyer, a family friend of Maddy and who
had invited her to come to our meeting, gave a vote of thanks.
The response from club members present showed that Maddy's presentation
had been very well received.

| An
Italian cookery afternoon
On Wednesday
26th April members of Tavistock IW and friends enjoyed a wonderful
afternoon of Italian home cooking by Giovanni and Christine Sponzielli,
showcasing some of Giovanni's best loved dishes from his home
in Puglia, just like his mamma used to make!
We were all given a printout of the recipes he was using which
came from his own cookery book of recipes he has collected from
family and friends over the years. In true TV cookery style, he
brought out first the dough for the almond biscuits and a little
later the Foccacia dough, that he had made earlier, and were then
shown how to shape the little biscuits and top with a coffee bean.
We were also then introduced to the correct way to spread the
focaccia dough in the tin to get the dimples before topping it
with all sorts of Mediterranean delights
Christine then made lovely rice balls from risotto rice they had
cooked earlier, and then fried aubergine slices dipped in breadcrumbs
before moving on to the lemon chicken.
Timing was perfect as by the time all the anti pasti had been
cooked, the cookies and bread were out of the oven, and shortly
after that all that could be heard were 'mmm' and 'have you tried
this' and 'oh, that's good'.
We all left with our taste buds dancing and ready to cook up an
Italian feast over the next few weeks, all that and monies raised
for local charities too.

At
our meeting this month we collected for the Charity "PANTS".
Pants is a charity based in Penryn who help people with anything
in the "Pants" area. They are sending a large shipment
out to Syria to help with the disaster and we collected a large
amount of supplies for them. We also brought donations for the Food
Bank as usual. A busy month!
One of our members has moved away, Barbara Crabb, and we took a
Club photo to send to her and to with her well. |

We held a Coffee
and Cake morning in St Michael’s Church Hall in Perranporth
in March. The event was in aid of the Community Larder, which
provides food for less-well-off people of the district. Members
made a great number of delicious cakes, and there was a scarf
rack with many colourful scarves donated by Club members and others.
Everything was free, except the raffle, but people were asked
to make donations. Two large bowls for donations were placed by
the door, and as a result we made £601.08 for the Larder.

Cabi Fashion
Show, Thursday 16th March
On a very
wet Thursday afternoon in Tavistock, President Jan and members
of the club were delighted to welcome Penny who had come down
from Bristol to show off the Spring collection of Cabi clothing,
members of Roborough, Bodmin & Helston Inner Wheel clubs and
representatives of the Mary Budding Trust along with a bevy of
local ladies
The 5 models (!!), 3 members and 2 friends, had all been up to
President Jan's on Monday and had a lot of fun trying on an assortment
of items, all of which Penny then photographed to whittle down
what we would wear for the show, which meant that we all wore
4 or 5 different outfits.
There was lots of laughter, lots of 'zhuzzing' both by Penny and
the audience, a technical term for pushing up, tucking in, folding
back and pulling down, all washed down with tea, coffee and cake.
£250 was raised on the afternoon with more to come from
commissions from Penny, the Chairman of the Mary Budding Trust
was very grateful for all the support, and promptly booked an
event for her team.
We would like to thank all those who attended, with a special
mention to Wendy who called in on her way from Exeter to home,
and to Hilary and Graham for coming up from Bodmin, and also to
Robert, Simon & David who helped shifting tables and chairs,
serving refreshments, doing the washing up and generally making
life a lot easier for us all.
