A wine appreciation society in Bradford on Avon is enjoying a new beginning with a new committee and venue.

The changes are intended to enliven the club, with a new home upstairs at The Fat Fowl on Silver Street providing a more fun and convivial atmosphere than the church halls members are used to.

The club will be making a donation to the restaurant’s chosen charity.

Committee member Rosie MacGregor said: “We are hoping to get some new members signed up for our latest course. It is themed around new wines, new grapes and new production processes, which people may not have tried.”

The club runs two courses a year with expert guest speakers. The latest starts on September 28 and runs on alternate Tuesdays until December 7. email: rosie@bearfld.demon.co.uk.
