WFFC-UK 2nd AGM

10th July 2008

The 2nd Annual General Meeting of WFFC-UK was held at Denbies Wine Estate.

Denbies is the largest British vineyard with a 265 acre estate situated on the chalky slopes of the Surrey countryside, where the terrain closely resembles that of the Champagne region of France.

A welcoming glass of English Sparkling Rose on arrival was followed by the formalities of the AGM.

In Angie Flay’s absence, Julie Tampsett, Vice President, delivered the chairman’s report which reinforced the aims of the society and urged more members to come forward with ideas for future activities. Lack of support during the year forced one cancellation, although the February Symposium in London was well-attended and thoroughly enjoyed by all the participants.

A request for extra help with the committee led to 3 new co-opted members and the existing committee members are pleased to welcome Kim Halford, Ruth Willis and Sue Wright.

Formalities of the day over, we enjoyed a traditional buffet lunch accompanied of course by bottles of the celebrated Denbies wines, and finished off the day with a tour of the winery and some more wine-tasting.
