Sunday 29th September:
Workshop
To help you prepare your precious honey and wax for sale or gifting, we will run a workshop on processing honey and wax, which will include preparing for the honey show.
Here’s the plan:
Usual start at 11am (arrive a bit earlier to grab a cuppa)
11.00 – 13.00 – preparing honey – straining and storing + filtering, jarring and labelling.
13.00 – 13.30 – lunch (bring your own).
13.30 – 15.00 (ish) – wax recovery and uses + preparing for the honey show.
It would be great if you could come for the whole day but you can dip in and out of the sessions if you prefer.
Plenty of parking beside the hall – there is a height barrier so please leave the layby free for any high vehicles.
Sunday 27th October
AGM.
