The Summer Garden Party
Sunday, 16th August 2015
Manchester Branch held their Annual Summer Garden Party at the lovely home of Derek and Tricia Fletcher. The event was attended by 48 members in a marquee which was erected in their magnificent garden, with sloping lawns, colourful floral beds and the River Irwell flowing lazily alongside! The day was blessed with stunningly sunny weather and as always this was one of the most popular and enjoyable social events of the year.
The members, in their sun hats, were welcomed with an aperitif of Champagne Autreau Roualet Brut Reserve, which was sipped in the sunbathed garden.
Then followed a delicious summery lunch, which was as follows:-
Smoked Salmon with prawns and a light dill sauce
Chablis Domaine du Colombier 2013 G. Mothe
***********
Roasted stuffed chicken breast, tomato and cucumber salad, green salad and new potatoes
Beaujolais Domaine de la Cote 2013 Domaine bottled C. Chatelus
************
Cheese board
***********
Summer fruits served with a Chantilly sauce
The food, which was devoured enthusiastically, was prepared by the Branch Committee and members. Everyone agreed that they had done a sterling job. The wines, which were chosen by Bob Lloyd, were drunk with equal appreciation.
A big thank you must go to all the team involved, especially our hosts, Derek and Tricia, for making this once again a memorable occasion.
