Their mission is to make sure good food gets eaten, not wasted. Every day, delicious, fresh food goes to waste at cafes, restaurants, hotels, shops and manufacturers – just because it hasn’t sold in time. The Too Good To Go app lets customers buy and collect Magic Bags of this food – at a great price – directly from businesses.

KEEPING UP THE TRADITION

As has been the practice for many years, The Friday Knights took their October meeting in France. At one time the outing looked difficult to arrange, the cost of coach hire was prohibitive and anxieties of an early start, late finish and mobility was a deterrent to some members.

However, the memories of past excursions, the special cuisine of ‘Chez Jules’, the post meal gathering at ‘Hamiot’ in the harbour of Boulogne and the bonhomie with friends on the ferry, proved too good to lose.

So a smaller group of ‘pilgrims’ decided to travel by car (non-drinking drivers deserve special thanks) and the traditional October meeting went ahead. It was good to have some of the younger Knights with us, all safely back in Shirley before 10pm. We hope when we repeat the visit next year, that a few more of our regulars re-join in the special event of the FK calendar, together with new members from the St John’s congregation.

Our November meeting will be a Wine experience. Eight wines to sample and identify in the Tamberlin Room on November 11^th. New-comers especially welcome.

Footnote: I pinned the photos on the Tamberlin Room notice board and took down a note from a 2019 trip to France when we had 36 Knights on the coach. The report by Chris Wood also noted the previous year when we had an illegal immigrant found hiding under the coach and our usual traditional singalong on the return coach journey.  bm
