Now that Christmas is over we're turning our minds to the Downsizer Foodie Weekend in April 2009 (main information link here)
A lot of people have shown interest in attending and a number have already offered their services and skills for demonstrations and workshops. If you think you have a particular skill to offer then please let us know. Or if you think of anything you'd like to see happening there, then let us know about that too and we'll do our best to oblige.
Here's what has been offered so far for demos/workshops:
