GOLD AWARDS - COTSWOLD PIE COMPANY

a Gold award for their Pork Pies, and Steak & Kidney Pie; In addition they
were awarded Bronze for their "Stow Pie" which is made from Beef and
Venison.  Both pies supplied to the shop are made using our own Beef!

We have supported this company since we opened in May 2007, formally known
as "Robfis". It is great they have had some recognition nationally.  In
addition to the above, they also supply us with:

NEW LINES - SWEET PEPPER & GOATS CHEESE FILO TART
This is part of Field Fayres' frozen lines.  It is a Filo pastry filled
with sweet peppers in a red pesto sauce topped with creamy goats cheese. 
Feedback on this product would be much appreciated, I have to make another
frozen order next week.

FISHING NEWS - LESSONS
Mal will be here again this weekend - I have lovely photographs of the
children fishing from last weekend, I am hoping Cathy will put them on the
website for me!

I think that covers everything for this week, I hope the country now
supports a sportsman with a real passion for his sport!

Best wishes
