All the contributors and lecturers of The Foodie Bugle are courteously invited to a lunch party on Thursday 4th October 2012 at my home. It is a chance for everyone to come together and meet fellow food writers, photographers, PR agents, lecturers, chefs, editors and food and drink artisans. It is also an opportunity to celebrate our recent winning of The Guild of Food Writers New Media Award 2012 together. Chef Helen Lawrence of Demuths restaurant and cookery school in Bath will be cooking us a delicious seasonal lunch, there will also be canapes and cocktails, plenty of wines and gossip galore. I look forward to seeing you all, and thank-you again for taking part.
