There will be fresh vegetables, fine cakes, fresh bread, savoury pies and lots more. Come along and explore our wonderful market.” Dear Ladies, Have you visited Adderbury’s own Community Food Market recently, seen the good food on offer or met up with friends over mouth-watering in-house comestibles and tempting liquid refreshments? Well, Adderbury’s April Market event is on this week on Thursday, 14th April from 6 – 8.15 pm at The Institute thus providing an excellent opportunity to sample its great food and social happenings. Come for delicious supper food by Smart Cookies or occasional guest chef visit and eat in-house in The Institute’s gallery, enjoy market happenings while eating and drinking with friends, be part of the Adderbury evening scene. Arm yourself with shopping basket primed for delicious food buys of homemade preserves, great patisserie and bakes and scrummy nibble food items, fabulous cheeses, great ground coffee, butchery, pates and delicatessen, beautiful bread, fresh eggs, excellent gloriously flavoured gins, hot coffee and chocolate and alcoholic refreshment to devour as you shop and dine and socialise with friends and neighbours. And discover fresh veggies, garden plants and flowers at Mr. Anson’s produce stall The Market hosts a regular Community Stall for various charity people visits from a wide variety of local groups such as scouts, schools, fund-raising groups and occasional visits by our own WI for our 2016 Calendar Competition – all such charity stalls promoting current or forthcoming events, adding to the excitement of the evening with their promotional material and lively presence. I always eat supper at Adderbury’s super Community Food Market with friends and family and come home laden, mostly, with plants and veg from Mr. Anson, delicious Greek food from Ellie’s Kitchen, own delicious fruit yoghurt and apple juice from Sarah of Appletree Farm and scrumptious items from Jo Thompson of Once Bitten. The brilliant thing is that, quite apart from the shopping, eating, quaffing and friendly banter with everyone, is the ongoing friendships which have developed and blossomed over the many months of Adderbury market activity. And the memory of past events – sitting outside on a warm summer’s evening with a plate of delicious food before one while surrounded by friends and visitors, watching swallows and swifts swoop and dive while listening to travellers’ tales, family photo-shoots at all times, autumn and winter occasions for hot delicious comfort food, anniversary events and wonderful festive occasions – it’s the Market with the Most and for my family an absolute-must occasion not to be missed. Here’s a few of my photos from past Market occasions for you to enjoy. Margaret Halstead...

Dear Ladies, Here’s my not so brilliant photo of Rachel Windsor-Knott, North Cherwell Group meeting guest speaker at the meeting at Deddington on Wednesday, 6th April 2016. We had been anticipating seeing a presentation by “Stunt Dogs” but due to a late date for filming in Oxford they had to postpone and another speaker found. Well, we were all most appreciative of Deddington’s new last-minute speaker! Rachel, as I’ve said before, was simply brilliant and her presence and presentation most welcome to all “members who meet”…. Members Who Meet …North Cherwell Group – this week at Deddington – the guest speaker, Rachel Windsor-Knott, gave her excellent presentation on “An Introduction to Applied Zoopharmacognasy” – listening to animals and helping them self-medicate – which was simply brilliant.

Read MoretheWI Adderbury & District – North Cherwell Group Meeting – Wednesday 6th April 2016 – for Members Who Meet
Dear Ladies, Here’s my first Facebook posting today for the North Cherwell Group meeting several Adderbury WI members attended last night at Deddington. It was an excellent meeting with a great presentation by Rachel Windsor-Knott on Applied Zoopharmacognosy which subject was, I have to admit, totally unknown to me before my arrival at the Rainbow Centre and the evening’s entertainment. Stella Oakes spoke on Federation news, Deddington’s President, Beryl Suckling, was in charge of proceedings and then organised the raffle prize draw and Bodicote WI President, Jill Whitrow, gave the vote of thanks to Deddington for an excellent meeting. Next year’s North Cherwell Group Meeting will be held by Banbury WI on Tuesday, 18th April 2017, whose venue and guest speaker have already been organised and arranged. Members who Meet – North Cherwell Group Meeting yesterday at Deddington Rainbow Centre, hosted by Deddington WI under the experienced eye of President Beryl Suckling and Group Convenor Helen Honour of Barford St. John. Guest Speaker Rachel Windsor Knott of Witney presentation introduced us to her “pet” subject – An Introduction to Applied Zoopharmacognasy” – which, basically, is all about listening t o animals and helping them self-medicate. It was absolutely riveting and fascinating – a great presentation by Rachel.
