*Pitas, wraps, croissants, bagels also encouraged.
If you feel like bringing some home baking aswell or instead, you’re welcome to.
Make a couple or three gourmet sandwiches, and bring them along and swap them with the others. See how your sandwich making skills stack up.
Take some time out for lunch, and enjoy some time with other sandwich appreciators. 
It is hosted at the sustainability house, 118 Ilam road. If it’s sunny we can sit out in the garden, other wise we’ll be in the lounge.
Tea and coffee will be provided.
I will be supplying plentiful amounts of my famous home made ciabatta, all you need to do is bring stuff to eat with it! Give me a text (021 857 559) if you have queries.
If you’d like to know how to make the bread, I’ll start with a quick demo at 4pm of the mixing & shaping process, which shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes – it’s a super easy recipe.
If you just want to eat the bread, show up any time between 4:15pm – 5:30pm.
Since I’m moving to Sydney at the end of the month, I also have some kitchenware and spices and stuff which I can’t be arsed taking with me, and some clothes. If you’d like to look through and take whatever you want (for free), maybe come between 3-4pm.
Wednesday, 25 April 2012 (Anzac day), 4pm-6pm. My place, 9a Delph St, Avonhead.
Facebook event page here.
If you’d like to join and get into the event on members rates, send $5 through but bring a gold coin on the day to join. You don’t have to be a student to officially join either.
Hello my fellow food embracers,
We’ll be at clubs day tomorrow with refreshing drinks from Aroha. Membership is a gold coin or $5 with a drink, or you can purchase drinks from us for $3 if you’re a past member (just mention it to us). Randoms can also buy the drinks for $4.
The gold coins from this year and our fundraising from last year are going towards a cheese night as our first event of the year. Basically, we’ll supply some cheese, and everyone can bring condiments (crackers, quince paste, relishes, honeycomb, apples…all that fancy cheese stuff). Am looking into places we could have this…veering towards Med Foods but keen for suggestions.
In conjunction with the UCSA, we’re looking to run a kitchenware fundraiser in which members of the public (or whoever) drop off kitchenware that students can then come in and collect for a gold coin donation.
The Potluck Club will be getting the funds raised for future events, which you’ll have a say in if you lend a hand.
We need awesome people to:
- Deliver fliers
- Man the drop off day – likely to be Sat 3rd March NOTE: this is a weekend day
- (Possibly move) and rearrange the goods into an accessible arrangement for students to peruse
- Man the event day – likely to be Wed 7th March
- Take leftovers to the Eco store – or store somewhere on your own accord until the next/for your use
You’ll be able to put your involvement in a new initiative on your CV, and have a massive say in running the club this year.
If you’re keen, please email thepotluckclub.uc@gmail.com with your name, cell number and what jobs/dates you can make it.
Meeting 10am for breakfast, entrance to Riccarton House (I’m the Asian chick with the short hair 
) Txt me on 021 857 559 if you want to meet up with us later and want to know where we are. I’ll still be there if wet as I do my vege shopping. Leave a comment here if you’re coming so we can expect you

Close to home is a free tour for Christchurch foodlovers to sample & support some of our local food heroes while meeting some other Christchurch foodies. You can meet us at whatever time suits you on the day, so you can come to one part only if you want. To make your life easy, bring cash with you on the day for breakfast/lunch or impulse buys! You do not need to be a member of The Potluck Club to join us, so invite any of your friends who are interested, or do your own tour with your friends.

If you’d like to bikepool or carpool, please leave a comment with your rough location and whether you are offering a lift or require one.
If it’s raining heavily on the day I will post an update here as to whether the tour will go ahead – we will probably just postpone to the next Saturday if it is raining. UPDATE: Apparently there’s patchy spitting in Christchurch so far so we’ll go ahead for now and if it gets too bad just text me/ring me to see if we’re still wandering. We may also do this next week AS WELL if the weather’s a little better so stay tuned
