We were delighted to receive our new Thermomix machine which was delivered to us by Piotr & Julia recently. We held a Thermomix demonstration evening and as the event was so well attended my our many families and friends, we were approved a brand new Thermomix TM6 machine. We are grateful to all who made such an effort to come to the cooking demonstration. We will look forward to using this in our kitchen and are happy to be part of the schools program.

Special thanks to Declan our science tutor, for the great work that he did with us this year and thanks to Marie Bourke who did a fantastic job co-ordinating the whole program.
