WI’s across the nation are discussing the future security of our food supplies – this includes the growing demand for food; the rise in food poverty and hunger; consumer behaviour and food waste, both as individuals and within our food suppliers.

Bognor Regis WI are involved in two events:

1.  September 22nd in Hotham Park – the Big Bite Food Festival where we can meet with people to share ideas, and in particular demonstrate avoiding food waste.   Using food, such as apples and courgettes when they in plenty supply, will be key and we will be publishing our favourite recipes for others to try on our website.   Big Bite are also arranging a Junior Bake Off.

More details at www.bigbitefestival.co.uk

2.  The Great Food Debate Fittleworth Villate Hall 2.00 p.m. – 4.00 p.m. – tickets at the door £6.00.

More details www.wsfwi.co.uk and www.nfwi.co.uk

So WI members from Bognor Regis – let’s have your recipes as soon as possible and come along to both events – bring family or friends, as both events are open to non WI members.
