From the Editor

It’s BBQ time again even if, at the time of writing, it isn’t exactly BBQ weather.  However, by 28 July I’m sure the sun will be shining in Needham!

I hope you have noted the change of date for the BBQ.  This year the annual Great Cake Bake will take place on the same day as the BBQ.

The categories are:

• fruit cake
• chocolate sponge cake
• cup cakes
• novelty cake
• scones                                                                   

As in previous years the cakes will be auctioned off after the judging has taken place.  The lucky judges this year will be our own Paul Hollywood & Mary Berry - the Revd Nigel and Mrs Tuffnell!  There will be prizes for the winner of each category.  There will be separate competitions in the same categories for children and, again  prizes for each winner.

Entries for the Cake Bake will be accepted on the day between 12:00 and 12:30.  Judging will take place at 3:00 followed by the auction.
