Eight hours in the cooking this was an impressive feast, laid on by Lance with the main attraction provided by Lance’s supplier Handross Butchers. Here’s one of Lance’s team tending the huge roast. |

| Mandy Anstee enjoying a genteel cup of tea. Meanwhile Wes Earp and Steve Powell are deep in discussion. When Steve is not managing his own business Fresh Display, he acts as Marketing Officer for BHBPA. I wonder if they are discussing the various improvements to the BHBPA website being worked on at present by Preview. Alix Bell and Mark Vaeson smile for the camera. Alix was explaining how The Escape Youth Club in Burgess Hill is waiting on final approval for the use of Park House. |

| Great to see some of our newer members in attendance. In the black tee-shirts, Lee Reed and Luke Field from Eco Skip. They explained to me the exciting growth of the company over the last 12 months and their future plans in Burgess Hill. This event was one where it’s all about the networking, in convivial surroundings, with no presentations, just some great food and a big crowd with 60 booked. |
