Young Chef Competition 2008
Written by Sarah Hiscocks   
Sunday, 20 July 2008

A YOUNG chef from Trowbridge won a cooking competition organised by the Rotary Club of Wessex Mead.

George Smith, 14, beat off stiff competition to take the local title of Young Chef with his take on a healthy Sunday lunch.

The young competitors were taking part in the local heats of national competition run by the Rotary Club.

After two hours of cooking John of Gaunt School pupil George triumphed with his tower of roasted lamb, potato rosti, carrots and French beans served on a minted pea puree.

He followed it with rhubarb and custard layered crumble with added raspberry and ginger for dessert.

George will now be invited to take part in the district finals, regional finals and possibly even the national final.

Walter Rose Family Butchers from Devizes provided all the meat, including George's lamb, and sponsored the event.

Organiser Sarah Hiscocks was lucky enough to be able to sample the finished creations along with the two judges from Wiltshire College Trowbridge, where the competition was held on Tuesday night.

She said: "All the dishes were very tasty but George's stood out.. They were judged on presentation, cleanliness and kitchen habits as well as the quality of the food."

As an added bonus Marco Polledri, the owner of Red or White in Castle Street, Trowbridge, has offered to have George join his own chef and cook the winning meal for paying customers in his restaurant.

Ms Hiscocks said: "Marco is really keen to have his chef work with George to give him the experience. He's going to donate any profits to a charity of George's choice."

Wednesday, 23 July 2008

On Friday 18th July, Studley Green School in Trowbridge received 20 illustrated Usborne Dictionaries from members of the Rotary Club of Wessex Mead.

President Julia and fellow members Bryony and Louise visited the school to hand over the dictionaries at their morning assembly.

The books, which were donated as part of a national literacy campaign, will be used to help in lessons.

Two other schools, Bellefield and Longmeadow will be receiving their dictionaries soon.

The club is delighted to donate these dictionaries to 3 local schools.  Our aim is to provide books to every primary school in the Trowbridge area in the next few years.

6th Bavarian Oompah Night
Written by Julia Davey   
Wednesday, 23 July 2008

Our 6th Bavarian Oompah night was a great success.  It raised £1650 for the Mary Aikenhead Community School in Zambia.

Staff from the school are visiting England in September and we hope that they will be able to visit us at one of our meetings.  They will be able to give us more information about how the money we raised, will be used.

Many thanks to everyone who attended the evening and helped us raise this money.

Those who are regular Bavarian attendees will be glad to know we are planning the 7th event, next year.
