Update on hobby group meeting date
Sarah Trappitt, group leader says, ‘We are not meeting on 6th August as I’m not here. We have decided to meet on the 8th September rather than the 1st so we have time to make sure everyone knows. We will be starting our knitted square blanket for charity. Thanks and hope you have a great Summer.’
Gallones was great

Twenty two members thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Gallones in Adam & Eve Street last night. We enjoyed a short talk on the history of the company which dates back to 1895, through to its recent, successful venture into franchising, of which the Market Harborough parlour was its pilot.
We found out about how ice cream is made and the amazing range of flavours, before getting to try some. The salted caramel, their most popular flavour, was delicious.
Social this evening, 7 pm at Gallones ice cream parlour
We look forward to seeing members this evening for a talk on ice cream making. You might want to indulge yourself with your favourite ice cream and a coffee while catching up with friends.
