March 28th, 2024Good Grub @ Easter
Daylesford’s Good Grub Club is holding a special Easter Passover lunch at the Uniting Church Hall today, Thursday March 28 from noon to 1.30pm.
Treasurer Liz Bennett said the Good Grub Club committee welcomed everyone. She also wanted to give thanks to the Daylesford District Community Bank for its ongoing support as the major sponsor.
“Without their support this would not be possible. The bank is keeping us going as we are not sure if we will have to move when the church is sold.
“Also thanks to the Daylesford Meat Co which is contributing lamb for the lunch. In addition to ongoing meat discounts the Meat Co supports us when we run these special lunches. Last year they gave us turkey for Christmas.”
Ms Bennett said Reverend Jenny Hayes, after many years of dedicated service, had just stepped down as president of the club, and will be giving an Easter blessing just before the lunch.
She said the club expects up to 50 people to gather for the lunch, which is quickly becoming a friendship networking group along with feeding those keen for a three-course midweek meal.
“People are now coming along and exchanging numbers and catching up outside of the club which is fantastic. Just last week it was one of our regular’s birthday and the chefs, who come from Blackwood, made her a cake and we all sang Happy Birthday.”
Ms Bennett said donations from people and organisations were always welcome but even more so as the club faces the uncertainty of a new location. “Local support will be critical as we navigate this challenge to ensure we can continue our vital service to the community. which would be a real shame.
