OVAS Christmas Get-together

It's that festive time of year again .
We want to celebrate with as many of you as possible so we hope that you can come on 10th December in the Ottery Cricket Club
starting from 12pm. Partners welcome.
This year we have decided that a catered event is a bit costly . So we are asking you to bring a plate of food instead of payment.
As we need to coordinate this a little to make sure we don't all bring mince pies - Tracey Collyer has kindly offered to be the point of contact for this. So when you have decided what to bring please let Tracey know so we can ensure we have a sensible spread .
Tracey's email is : traceycollyer6@gmail.com
The bar will also be open - card or cash accepted.
As the food will be prepared in members kitchens we will not be able to guarantee that its free from any allergens , so if you are concerned about this it would be best to bring your own plate of food.
We would also ask you to bring the food already plated up so that we can just add it to the table as well as your own plate , and utensils .
That means that we will not have to do a mega washing up session at the end and is more eco than throwing away paper plates .
We hope that you agree . Obviously there are plates etc there if you forget .
We do not have facilities ,unfortunately, for reheating so probably best to bring cold food .
One final thing - as you are preparing food for others to eat please label what it is and ensure you minimise the time that the food is left out at room temperature ( 4 degrees plus ) especially high risk food like meat , fish or rice. Apologies for this but with health and safety we do need to be careful these days !!
