Meetings

LSSSC Meetings

LSSSC Meetings are normally held during the first week of every month. The day on which meetings are held is not fixed. This is to allow for greater flexibility in arranging events. We aim to meet at different venues across Lincolnshire, in attempt to balance out the distances members have to travel.

You can read about past meetings by CLICKING HERE , future meetings currently arranged are as follows:


 




JULY


POTTERY DEMONSTRATION AND SMALLHOLDING VISIT

Sunday 20th July  at 11a.m


At the home of Finola Delamere and Fred McPherson.

The day will include a Pottery Demonstration, and a tour of their holding which includes Jacob sheep, geese, hens, bees, vegetables, fruit bushes and an orchard.

More details of Finola’s Pottery, and directions to their holding, can be found at www.finspottery.co.uk


AUGUST         

JOINT SOCIAL WITH HORNCASTLE BEEKEEPERS    3rd August, at 2.30 p.m.


At the home of Deano and Beverley Martin

This is a social event, but the beekeepers will bring along some spare suits, so that people can see what the inside of a hive looks like (assuming that I’ve still got some bees left). Like us, the beekeepers bring food along, so it should be a good buffet!





SEPTEMBER 

BBQ         date to be confirmed


Hosted by Patrick and Wendy Britton

Another social day, with a chance to eat some really good food. What is it about Smallholders and Food?


OCTOBER         

PORK BUTCHERY AND HAM MAKING     Date and venue to be confirmed

Ray Wisby, owner of Wisby Butchers, will give a demonstration of pork butchery, including an explanation of the different cuts that you can make. Ray will also show us how to make ham (which he does in his Wragby shop). He has also suggested that he barbecues some of the cuts, and has offered to bring along some of his own sausages. We are still looking for somebody to host this event. Ivan and Sam Evans were very quick to offer a pig for the demonstration, but it might be possible for Ray to do two.




NOVEMBER  

Poultry Preparation

Date to be arranged. Hosted by Colin and Lucy Kenney

One of our new members will demonstrate how to humanely dispatch poultry, and prepare them for eating. it might also be possible to do a demonstration of lamb butchery, if a suitable carcase can be provided.


DECEMBER   

XMAS SOCIAL AND PUNCH WORKSHOP      date to be confirmed


George and Vickie Crane have offered to host the Christmas social (another social!!!), and have some old punch recipes for us to make, and then try. It would only be good manners to bring some of your own along, and to arrange for a taxi, or pickup! I’m so glad that we live in the same village.
