NEW MEMBERS! New Members’ Coffee Morning: Tuesday March 10, 2020 at 10.30 am The Committee of the Three Counties Association have great pleasure in inviting you to have free coffee and biscuits with us at The Devil’s Punchbowl National Trust Café at Hindhead. This informal get-together will provide a good opportunity to get to know who’s who in the Committee and ask any questions you have about our activities. All new members who have joined the Association since February 2019 (membership numbers 1479 and higher) are warmly invited to join us. There’s free parking, provided you have your N.T. stickers on show. We do hope that you will be able to come. An application form is included with the booking forms for this summer’s trips. The annual Three Counties Holiday, in Shropshire and the Potteries, will be from Sunday September 20 to Friday September 25, 2020. Further information and an application form are included with this programme. The holiday is bound to be popular: early booking is recommended. See important note on page 15 about bookings for this holiday. 2 THE THREE COUNTIES NT ASSOCIATION Committee - as at January 2020 Chairman: Richard Woodhams (01428 741495) Hon Secretary: Fay Foster (01428 644183) Hon Treasurer: Ann Harmes (01428 653750) Members: Louise Brown (01730 893506), Peggy Greaves (Membership Secretary) (01428 722243), John Horner (Talks Organiser) (01428 724068), Carolyn Williamson (01428 722730) and Chris Wright (01428 725301). - - - - - CHAIRMAN’S NOTES A new decade and, for the Three Counties Association, a new and more streamlined name, but the same purpose - to provide enjoyable and stimulating events and social activities for people who value our heritage of beautiful and interesting places and collections, and to support, as appropriate, the activities of the National Trust, especially the conservation and restoration work in local N.T. properties. At last October’s AGM we agreed to open our membership for the first time to people who are not members of the National Trust. We very warmly welcome these new members to our friendly group, and look forward to meeting them on this summer season’s trips. As usual we have arranged a variety of outings to locations near and more distant, familiar and less familiar, including several that the Three Counties has never visited before. We are continuing with the popular coffee mornings for new members’ at the Devil’s Punch Bowl N.T. café, while everyone is invited to the annual members’ lunch - back in Haslemere again this year - where new friends mingle with and get to know those who have been members for years. We remain - and always will be - an Association of National Trust supporters, and will continue to deepen and strengthen our links with local N.T. properties. All the surplus money made from our outings and events goes to support their projects. At our 2019 AGM we agreed grants totalling £6,000 to three properties: to the South Downs N.T. for fencing on Woolbeding Common and replanting the Terwick Lupin field; to River Wey Navigation for roller blinds at Dapdune Wharf and towards the purchase of a chain hoist which will make it much easier to lift lock gates for maintenance; and to Oakhurst Cottage towards the restoration of their 19th Century quilt. Oakhurst Cottage, in Hambledon in Surrey, is the Association’s special project and we give priority to meeting its needs. A line drawing of this ancient and charming house is on the front page of this Programme. Please visit these places - and of course other local N.T. properties - when you can, and see how the Association is contributing to their maintenance and restoration. Last year’s UK holiday in County Durham was greatly enjoyed (see report on page 4) and we are delighted that Success Tours have now been able to offer Association members a holiday based on Shrewsbury and the Potteries in September 2020. Details are included 3 with this programme. Do tell your friends about this and encourage them to come on what promises to be a most interesting trip. Quite a few Three Counties members live in and around Petersfield. Following representations, we experimentally included a Petersfield pick-up in one of last autumn’s outings. We are doing the same with two trips this summer. Whether we continue after that depends on a number of things, including how many people actually choose to get on the coach at Petersfield, and the extra time taken to get to the centre of the town especially during school drop-off, when local traffic tends to seize up. I urge members who have access to the internet to visit the Association’s website (www.nationaltrust.org.uk/threecountiesassoc) which includes reports on all our recent outings and other information about the Association. Those who have not yet joined our trips will get a good idea of the sort of very enjoyable things that we do, while for others the reports, and especially the accompanying photos, should jog happy memories. Finally, I would like to pay special tribute this year to my hard-working team on the Three Counties Committee - Ann, Carolyn, Chris, Fay, John, Louise and Peggy - for their enterprise and devotion to the Association. But for their efforts we would have no summer programme to offer. I am most grateful, too, to those other Association members who have cheerfully given us much invaluable support during the year. I look forward to seeing you in 2020! Richard Woodhams The Committee, as you will notice from the list on page 3, is now very small and it was quite an achievement putting this Summer Programme together. We urgently need to recruit more Committee members to keep the show on the road in 2021 and beyond! Please consider joining us: if you are interested don’t hesitate to speak to me or any Committee member and we will be delighted to explain how you can help. - - - - - THREE COUNTIES HOLIDAY IN DURHAM, OCTOBER 2019 Sunday October 13 After a very early start, having met our tour guide, Georgia, at 5.30 am, we set off to meet our main driver for the week, David, at Cobham Services where we had a quick comfort and coffee break too. It rained all the way up to Burghley House, but many of us slept as we had been up so early! The Elizabethan house is very opulent with the most amazing collection of paintings, fabulous furniture and a vast kitchen full of copper pots and pans. Lunch for us was well organised in the Orangery then it was onward to Newton Aycliffe, arriving at the handsome building and welcoming staff of Redworth Hall Hotel at 5 pm. Monday October 14 A day in Durham City where we were dropped off in the centre, right by the bus stop for the Hop-on, Hop-off bus on which most of us travelled using our own local bus passes! We were transported up the steep hill for a visit to the magnificent 4 cathedral. It is a wonderful building and the guided tour was excellent, taking in the resting places of St. Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, and the Venerable Bede. Later in the day we all met up for our visit to Crook Hall, the medieval Manor (c.1271), complete with ghosts. Here we were given a tour of this, the oldest merchants house in the city, followed by afternoon tea before heading back to our hotel. Tuesday October 15 Today we had an all-day visit to the famous Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle, a very imposing chateau - like building and housing an excellent café where we partook of morning coffee (a must for us all) before exploring the numerous rooms full of treasures collected by John and Josephine Bowes. These included paintings, porcelain, fabrics, furniture and fashion. Some members had seen on television, the night before, a programme that included the wonderful lace collection here. When asked by members if they could see it, the staff very willingly opened it up for them. At 2 pm on the dot the magical Silver Swan automaton, the emblem of Bowes, came to life. A wonder to behold as it was originally built in 1773 (and eventually bought by John Bowes in 1872) yet still in superb daily working order. Wednesday October 16 Today we arrived at the National Museum of the Navy in Hartlepool which looks a bit like Portsmouth Dockyard but on a smaller scale. We toured HMS Trincomalee and saw an excellent exhibition of what life was like on a fighting ship – it must have been terrible!! Even though the weather was a little drizzly, a light lunch was taken in the café overlooking the atmospheric quay.

  • Digesting the Complexities of Cake in Australian Society - After a Long and Textured British-European History
    Digesting the complexities of cake in Australian society - after a long and textured British-European history The how and why of cake consumption in contemporary Australia ~ A Research Project by Jessica Graieg-Morrison a1641657 ~ 1. Introduction Answering the questions of how and why people choose and consume particular foods is a complex undertaking. This essay will attempt to examine the historical development of cake to determine its role on the plates and in the minds of Australian consumers. Cake is, some argue, an unnecessary food; however, there are many cultural and social events that, seemingly, cannot occur without it present. Why has this mixture of ‘special’ ingredients so long enchanted humans and become central to numerous celebrations and cultural rituals? From ancient times sweet creations have been developed using available resources, with technological development and world travel contributing to the significant development of cake offerings available today. Whatever the age, it is cake that is used to bring people together in celebration as communities mark important cultural and personal events. As time passed and people moved around the globe, cake recipes were enriched with new meanings, ideas and symbolism. As a relatively young country, Australia was taught to bake and eat cake by European immigrants, particularly the British. Our lack of a unique cultural cuisine has seen the adoption of eating patterns from a range of international sources. Sifting through stories about cake from Great Britain, mainland Europe, America and, finally, Australia, this essay will seek to examine the cultural phenomenon of cake, particularly in contemporary Australian society. 2. What is cake? The word ‘cake’ has two slightly different, albeit related, definitions.

  • Sample Regional Menus
    6476_BFF BuyGuide'05 ƒ WEBv 30/6/05 3:28 pm Page 12 Sample regional menus Encourage interest in Britain’s regional food and drink heritage! Team regional foods and cheeses with local beers and ciders for a truly distinctive offering. And remember to consider regionalising your children’s menu too. Think beyond the chicken nugget! The following menus are intended to give you some ideas for making your menu regionally distinct. This may be by including traditional dishes on your menu (and some are mentioned to get you going) or by increasing the emphasis of provenance on your existing menu. Why not mention the breed of sheep used for your roast lamb or the farm on which it was raised? What about mentioning the variety of apple you use or the name of your cheese producer? Specifying provenance on your menu will help make it more distinctive. Did you know £34 billion each year is now being spent on eating out in the UK?
