1) Apologies-Jill and Anne, Coreen

2)Feedback from Grubs Up event-

All felt that event went very well.3 feedback slips. Had £76 donations, expenses £53. Felt that Evenbrite system for invites was too cumbersome. Half booked through this and half through press release in Courier and personal contacts. Had too much food. Morrisons and Olivers particularly gave a lot. All liked the table layout with flowers and felt it was a really nice social event. If do a similar event, then the tasks needed should be divided up, so that it is not left to one person to do all the organising.All felt under pressure in the kitchen. Good to have one person organising the cooking. 

Next time, for invites, to focus on who we are targeting. People who haven't got much food, people who want to learn how to cook cheaply?
