Wine Into Water October 2011

The first wine into water event took place on Friday night and not only did we raise £200 for WaterAid but we learnt a lot about wine and had a brilliant time into the bargain- see the pics below!

Sam and Karen from Majestic answered many questions about the French and Chilean wines, and there was also smoked salmon and cheese on hand to match to various wines.

If you attended on the event and would like to try some of these wines again, they're available in Majestic Cardiff Bay and they included:

Whites: Chateau de Sancerre 2009, Chablis (Boudin), Chardonnay "Llanuras de Camarico"
Reds: Villa Maria Pinot Noir, Chateau Boutisse, Peter Lehman Shiraz.

We also had a vote on the favourite wine of the evening, and the Chateau Boutisse was the narrow winner (I voted for the Shiraz myself!)

The Cardiff WaterAid supporters group would like to thank all those who attended for their support of WaterAid, and in particlaur Dean from St Saviour's church (a perfect venue) and Sam and Karen for their patience in dealing with all the questions!

The event sold out a few days prior to Friday, but we will be arranging another one so watch this space...

Cardiff Bay Coastalong 2011 photos

Saturday was a brilliant day out, about a 100 people embarked from the Norwegian Church at 2pm including babies, children, a tap, walking groups, families, friends and of course the Cardiff WaterAid supporters.

The rain stayed away all afternoon, we even had a few spots of sunshine- and no one got lost either! It was a pleasure to meet and talk to people en route, but was still a relief to get back to the Norwegian Church and mission accomplished.

The route is 6 miles long, and took us about 2.5 hours- did you know that women and children in some of the world's poorest countries walk on average 6km to often unprotected water sources such as rivers or muddy dugouts, and that the average weight carried is 20kg?

So thank you for your fundraising efforts- it really does make a difference.

We've put together a gallery of photos from the day, if you have anymore that we could add please send them to wateraidcardiff@gmail.com

Finally, we'd love to hear what you think about the event- did you enjoy it? Leave your comments below.
