To be held at St Anne's College, Oxford on 14 November 2009, 10am-5pm. Nothing is more important than bread, truly it is the staff of life. Yet the majority of us are eating highly processed bread packed with additives - designed for industrial production rather than nutrition and taste. This one day conference brings together growers, bakers, millers, consumers and campaigners to discuss how to substitute mass-produced bread with locally produced all-natural bread - better for our communities and our palates.

I thought that we could try to re-invigorate the group and organise a meeting for the new year. It doesn't seem realistic (at least for me) to read something and meet before Christmas. Tamara has suggested a book which sounds ideal for us: Jay Rayner, The Man Who Ate the World: In Search of the Perfect Dinner Let's set the date for Wednesday 20 January 7.30 pm at my house (37 Hayfield Rd, Oxford OX2 6TX) I'll provide nibbles if others don't object to bringing a drink? If this date turns out to be inconvenient for too many people I'll change it.
