MEMBERS of the Crediton and Area Branch of Devon Senior Voice (DSV) were treated to some delicious sundried tomato pastry tart baked by Crediton’s Food Festival director, chef Tim Harris at its November meeting.

Tim, the Devon Chef, gave the group a presentation about the basics of good nutrition, with some specific points that were relevant to those aged 50+.

His friendly, interactive style encouraged contributions from the assembled DSV members, who were able to share many treasured food memories.

Branch chair, Carole Towler, thanked Tim for his excellent talk and invited him to stay for refreshments, when he was able to distribute slices of his delicious tart.

Next month the group is hosting a Christmas-themed meeting with local group "Mellow D" providing the musical accompaniment to the serving of warm mince pies and (non-alcoholic) punch

Over 50s will be welcomed and entrance is free, but donations towards room hire and refreshments would be appreciated. For more information about DSV, call Carole Towler on 01392 851600.
