Calling all CBA members - and none members (in business)
PLEASE can all of you who have anything to do with food (selling it, making it, or just loving it) attend the Tree House at the Oak THIS WEDNESDAY AT 7pm (today).
We have some ideas for a Food Festival at the end of October, early November and the lead in time is getting shorter as we speak if we are to get the best publicity for the event.
The idea is based on "Eat Your Way Around the World." We can include all members who run themed restaurants, but also shops retailing food items and anyone connected with food from its nutritional and healthy values to the naughty but nice indulgence, and would welcome those of you who would do a demonstration event. A week of events to attract customers into the village is possible, we also have details of a Food Forager, who presents TV programmes on the topic, and might lead a walk on the North Downs.
If you are not yet a member, come anyway and pay £25 subscription on the night, as this event will benefit your business - the publicity is paid for out of our regular subscriptions.
Your ideas are welcome, so please make attending on Wednesday an absolute priority - the object is to get more trade into the village while offering something enjoyable for residents and visitors alike. BUT, we do need to decide who is doing what and when with some urgency.
Those of you who have businesses not obviously linked to this proposal - COME ANYWAY - it's a great opportunity to network and we would like to hear from you some ideas for discussion at future events - theft and better security for lone workers might be one for example!
Regards
Elizabeth

Saturday 19 June 2010 - Clewards Meadow - from 12 o'clock
We welcome you all most warmly to the 2010 Church Fete with its fun, stalls and activities.
The Fete represents something very important as it provides a means to build on the friendship and acquaintances we have with others in our community. The involvement of the Gardening Society and the Primary School makes this much more than just a church event. An observer would recognise that there are many parts of the overall Fete that come from outside the immediate village community but none the less would see it as a typical English village activity.So, enjoy the hog roast, and the other things there are to eat and drink. Good luck with "guess the wieght of the cake" and other games and may you make new friends and renew old friendships.
Finally, my thanks go to the many, many people who work so hard to make this event possible. It is months in the planning and without the effort of all involved it would be impossible to hold. So to you all, thank you so much.
Rev Richard King - Priest for Charing.

Hi guys, thought it might be a good time to remind people that when the Christmas party’s start
don’t DRINK and DRIVE !!
Book a TAXI from Executive Cars (CHARING)
BE SAFE AND ENJOY THE CHRISTMAS FAYRE.
BEST RATES when you book early.
Early seasonal greetings from Les of Executive Cars
All those of you who go on garden safaris and supper safaris already know that it doesn't mean you'll find a lion or a zebra round the corner, but an interesting and entertaining experience instead. We all look forward to a meal we haven't had to cook, so when you come to Charing to eat out, why not try a different part of the world each time, making it your very own safari?
In the High Street you can find a pub and a coffee shop serving mainly English dishes, close to a brasserie specialising in dishes with their roots in Morocco and South Africa.
Something a bit more oriental? Nearby on the A20 The Swan offers an authentic Thai restaurant as well as an American style steakhouse.
The Peony is just the place for Chinese and a short journey up Charing Hill will take you to two Indian restaurants.
Back in England again, that old favourite fish and chips is served up at the bottom of the High Street on a Friday evening.
Why not set off for Charing next time you are hungry and make a point of visiting a different "country" each time?
