The coming weeks look set to be very busy for all the members, with trips organised to Buckingham Palace, the Cromer Pier Show and a guided tour of Norwich Cathedral.

The ladies were transported back to the 17th century with 21st century technology. John and Mick, two employees of Colmans of Norwich presented a PowerPoint display (for the uninitiated, slides via a computer!!). The original owner, Jeremiah James, was a philanthropic business man who during the late 1890’s not only employed 3,000 people but also provided a school and a works canteen. The whole Carrow Road site was totally self-sufficient with its own print works, maintenance and barrel making shops. The mysteries of mustard production were then explained to the ladies and finally images of the modern site were shown. It was a very interesting and informative talk which was rounded off with every member receiving a sample of mustard.

The next meeting will be a garden party at the home of Chris Hubbard. Please see below and come along and enjoy Chris’ beautiful garden and pray for fine weather.
