Congleton Sustainability Group meeting took place recently on 2.11.2015 download the full minutes HERE.
Highlights included:
Apple Juice.
Apple Day was very successful with over 100 people turning up throughout the event.
Appears to be a good harvest this year.
Already produced 714 Apple juice / 54 Cider and sold 20ltrs of Draught to Olde Kings Arms.
Olde Kings Arms keen to have exclusivity for the cider in the town. Possible further development on this with Titanic Brewery PA attending an event at Burslem (1 to 7pm selling AJ and Cider) in the near future. PA will put a feature in The Chronicle around this subject.
The manager of The Olde Kings Arms is a keen conservationist, PA to look at how to develop a working relationship with him.
