AGM and WINE
The Last meeting was Great Bookham Belles first Annual General Meeting, which saw a fabulous turn out of members. The committee now has an additional 3 members and Amanda Edge, President, was voted back in.
Jeremy Blood, from Surrey Wine School, gave a timely insight into how to choose wine, so our members are now well informed when stocking up for Christmas. Jeremy also gave members the opportunity to sample chocolate, which went down very well with the wine. »View photos
