Wot2Grow Apple Day

The WOT2Grow Team held an Apple Day at the Village Hall on 16 October and around 50 people from Whatcote, Oxhill and Tysoe enjoyed a great afternoon making fresh apple juice, learning more about apples and the progress of the team’s grant application. Those that brought along their own apples saw the team turn them into delicious, fresh apple juice which was bottled and they were able to take it home with them. They were also able to enjoy some tea and wonderful home-made cakes and biscuits as well as taking the opportunity to buy some very fine apple juice and cider.

The children who came along also had a good time with apple bobbing, colouring and helping to make juice.

Thanks to my fellow team members and all of the, too numerous to name, helpers for a great community event and one that I suspect will become an annual occurrence.

Also present were the OWLS (see article elsewhere in the News) and Doug Nethercleft had a stand extolling the virtues of Bee-Keeping, etc.
