» A New Year, a New Phase for TTK

Just a little reminder of the meeting this Wednesday evening at C-SCAIPE, Kingston University (KT1 2EE), 7pm, where everyone is invited to come along to help shape how TTK will be run in the future. A chance to reflect on 2011 and plan for the year ahead. We are looking to refresh and reshape the Steering Group with more representation from project groups and members - What issues should we focus on in 2012? Come along to decide!

» From the Ground Up ends the year with a festive evening

From the Ground Up, TTK’s local organic box scheme, had its special Christmas collection with a full house of customers and producers on the evening of 22nd December.  A community, holiday spirit was in the air, no doubt aided by the flowing mulled wine (organic of course). Shoppers had a chance to sample some local foods found in FGU’s online shop as well as taking the time to meet the FGU team and producers.  On hand was Igor of Ruben's Bakehouse, sharing his passion for bread with avid tasters, Toni of Fab Foods, offering samples of her famous natural preserves, chutneys and quince cheese, and honey producer John showcasing his natural Hampton Cournt honey.

As always, FGU are keen to introduce local naturally produced foods. If you or someone you know are interested in selling your product through From the Ground Up, please contact them at: FGU@ttkingston.org
