UPDATE! Due to lower numbers than expected, Cat will now be doing a buffet, not a BBQ.
Come along to our summer barbeque, this year kindly hosted by Pauline and Colin Burnett-Dick at their lovely holding, which includes a lake, rheas and woodland, set in Winnie the Pooh country in the Ashdown Forest.
Cat Bush will be providing delicious barbeque food, including sausages and burgers from livestock reared on her own farm, followed by a lovely pudding. Tea and coffee also provided. All for the subsidised price of £5. Cat is happy to cater for any dietary requirements, including a veggie option. Please email her if this is what you require. catrionabush@gmail.com
It's a great opportunity to meet other SFTG members and to have a look around the Burnett-Dick's lovely smallholding.
The swimming pool will also be available, at your own risk.
Please bring your own chair, drinks and glasses.
Please no dogs, as they have four of their own plus cats and free-range poultry.
