Slow Food evening at Cambridge University
Slow Food Anglia together with the international ITMAW organisation are holding a joint event, a special evening at Gonville and Cauis college in Cambridge University on Wednesday 14th September. Paolo Pace the Butler at the college and board member of the ITMAW is working with us on this exciting event to both promote Slow Food Anglia and the wider Slow Food organisation to the students and staff at the college as well as other interested parties from the city and the county of Cambridgeshire.
The evening will be held in one of the beautiful function rooms in the ancient college buildings and it was Paolo together with several the college fellows who were very keen to have us come and hold the event there. Paolo has been instrumental on the planning of the event and he has worked on the project for some months, and Slow Food Anglia members have also visited the Cambridge several times to help with the planning of this exciting event.
The evening will see members of Slow Food Anglia give a series of talks about the Slow Food movement, our ethos, plans for the future and current projects we are working on in East Anglia including the work that was done over the past year to secure Presidia status for the native Colchester oyster. There are also several other projects we are currently working on including getting recognition for the red Poll beef breed and cooperating again with Norwich City council on holding a series of events during the Pumpkin waste festival in late October.
As part of our current plans for 2016 we would like to help interested students and residents of Cambridge to start a new Slow Food group in the city of Cambridge in the autumn or early winter and that by coming to the University and speaking with both students, lecturers and fellows that we can find enough interest to start on setting up a new Slow Food Cambridge by November.
Slow Food Anglia are also working with other organisations in both Cambridge and other cities and towns in the east of England to promote small local food producers bring their superb produce to the general public and also with artisan food producers from other parts of Europe who may wish to take part in our events and festivals which are organised by Slow Food Anglia.
As part of the harvest celebrations that are held in the autumn we have been asked to take a stand at the popular Alexandra Palace market in north London, the market is one of the most popular markets in the capital and we have also been asked about possibly holding a dedicated Slow Food Market in the historic city of Ely in Cambridgeshire.
