This week we dedicated the proceedings to discussing next weeks annual pie competition. Kevin briefed us all on our duties. We finished off the evening with pie and pies.

I little time was spend on:

World events

The Austrian monster Fritz gets life for the rape and imprisonment of his daughter for 24 years, the imprisonment of the children born by him and the murder of one of the children.

Britain ’s longest serving prisoner to have his conviction proved to be a miscarriage of justice after 27 years.

Sport

Ireland win the 5 nations rugby tournament.

28^th March 2009

Annual pie competition day today!

The best yet, a PA system allowed us to speak clearly to everyone in and outside the pub. An excellent auction raised at least £500. The winning pie and the three runners up were sold as a set for £54!

Pete Waterman the record producer, railway enthusiast and now pork pie fan came along and helped with the judging. Hinchcliffe’s butchers of Huddersfield won yet again! This must be their 3^rd win.

Everyone had a great day. The  total raised for the Jumbobulance holiday service for the disabled is still being counted but it is at least £2000. The only problem of the day was that all the pies donated by butchers and bakers were sold and none were saved for the judges to enjoy at the end!
