NEW MEMBERS NIGHT MEETS READY STEADY COOK!
All ladies were handed a raffle ticket when they arrived and to pick our teams three tickets were pulled at random for each team. The 'lucky' volunteers were, for the Green Pepper Team Linda Ross, Annette Grewar and Morag Woodcraft. The Red Pepper Team was Rita Ingram, Edith Ralston and Marion Robertson. The Green Broccoli Team was Heather McLaren, Margaret Young and Margaret Knight and the Brown Mushroom Team was Rhona McGeoghegan, Cath McNab and Sandy Bushby.
Each Team were given a host of ingredients to choose from and then 10 minutes to make a platter of canapes. Each team were judge by the floor on presentation and use of ingredients. We all watched eagerly as the teams ran around trying to make the platter in the time provided and 'Ainsley' just running around!!
Then again our 'Ainsley' did the Ready Steady Cook count down - see below!
We were all asked to vote and as you can see from the photo below it was a tough call!!
However the eventual winners were the Green Broccoli Team of Heather McLaren, Margaret Knight and Margaret Young. Very Well done!!
Following the wonderful entertainment, the Centre very kindly provided us with a hot and cold buffet.
The whole night was just a joy! Our thanks go to Lady Captain Jane for looking after us so well, also a huge thank you to Chris Strugis who thought up this whole evening and took time to go and purchase all the ingredients, brought along all the equipment such as aprons (check out Rhona's!!) chopping boards etc. So well done Chris. But the star of the evening apart from the 'volunteers' was of course Centre Manager David Norman who really threw himself into the part of 'Ainsley' and was so entertaining!
Thank you to all!! Strathmore Ladies really is a fun place to be!!
Below is a link to loads of photos of the night so sit back and enjoy! Beacause there are so many photo's I have made two slide shows as the program only seems to take up to a certain size. (sorry!) Just click on number 1 then number 2!
