I thought that we could try to re-invigorate the group and organise a meeting for the new year. It doesn't seem realistic (at least for me) to read something and meet before Christmas. Tamara has suggested a book which sounds ideal for us: Jay Rayner, The Man Who Ate the World: In Search of the Perfect Dinner Let's set the date for Wednesday 20 January 7.30 pm at my house (37 Hayfield Rd, Oxford OX2 6TX) I'll provide nibbles if others don't object to bringing a drink? If this date turns out to be inconvenient for too many people I'll change it.

The Convivium will hold its AGM from 6:30, followed by dinner at about 7:45. In between, from about 7:15 we would like to discuss with members and guests ideas for Convivium events in 2010.

So, if you would like to come along, please let me know. I will then send you the menu for pre-orders (£16,99 for 2 courses or £19.99 for 3 courses).

In the meantime, if you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to write to me.

The next meeting of the SF Oxon Book group will take place on Wednesday 24 March at 7.30pm at the Summertown Wine Cafe, South Parade, Summertown.

We will be discussing:

Swindled: From Poison Sweets to Counterfeit Coffee - The Dark History of the Food Cheats by Bee Wilson

Even if you have not read the book, but are interested in a convivial discussion of food cheats and counterfeits, please come along.

I look forward seeing old and new members.

Regards,

Liz

To celebrate the English Wine Week, we are offering a wine tasting at the well known Brightwell Vineyard, near Wallingford, (OX10 8LJ) on Sunday, 6 June, 11am.

Carol and Bob Nielsen will offer their award winning wines and will guide us through their vineyard on the site. The shop will then open for you to purchase more.

After the wine tasting we'll be going to the famous Half Moon for lunch. Those of you who attended the Taster Menu organised by Geoffrey in November said "it was the best meal ever". Those who did not make it - this is an excellent chance to try it out.
