THE

BOOK

CLUB Thinking of joining a book club?

There is to some, a stereotypical image of book clubs as talking arenas for bookworms, or gaggles of girls discussing the latest ‘chick lit’. Which, of course, to an extent they are, but there are many more reasons for joining a local reading group.

A reading group can, for many, offer an excellent route into an established local social network. Offering the opportunity to meet people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, book clubs often also give you the chance to meet people with fairly similar interests, making it an excellent way to get out and meet new people.

Many groups have a focus towards a certain genre or variety of fiction or non fiction, although some are broader than others. Being given a reading list can help you to extend your usual reading, as you will need to keep up with the set texts if you are going to participate in the group, and while many groups decide on titles as a joint decision, the chances are some of the choices will not be your usual favourites. Reading of course will help you to broaden your horizons and vocabulary; the discussion and insights

16

from other readers give this aspect a whole new dimension.

Reading groups are also an excellent way to help improve your communication skills.

Discussion will hopefully naturally improve your listening skills, as you navigate your way through others interpretations of the reading material. Speaking in a group is much less formal and structured than the classroom, but will help you build confidence in talking to new people, and to speak to a wider audience.

Finally, if you have any ambitions to write your own novel, reading groups can be a fantastic resource, giving you a window into others opinion’s, what for them makes a good or bad plot or characterization, and perhaps help you to mature the seed of your idea.

Running clubs Running has become a more popular sport Are you thinking of joining a running club?

Perhaps the lingering thoughts behind your New Years Resolution, or shedding some pounds pre holiday? Running clubs have become more common in recent years, and can be found

18

throughout the county should you be inclined.

Running clubs are not just for the fitness fanatics in lycra among us, but also offer a diverse and friendly membership. Joining a club is an

excellent motivational tool, allowing you to adopt a slightly different mindset and take the hobby slightly more seriously.

It also means company and security. Many runners enjoy pounding the streets alone, but company can spice up a run, providing the motivation of someone to pace yourself with.

If you are in training for a specific event, say a marathon or Race for Life, then you may be able to team up with another runner who is also competing. If you are simply looking for a fitness activity, the motivation of not letting down a running partner should keep you going; but if you are competing, a group can add a little competition to help you push yourself! They also offer a good opportunity for socializing. Some groups do organize social events, group runs and other such friendly activities.

Finding a partner to run with is also ideal for those nervous of running alone. Both male and female runners can feel unsafe, especially when the evenings draw in again, and using a group can offer safety in numbers, and access to well thought out, properly lit routes.

Another important aspect is access to health information. Running can be a very simple activity, but if you are serious, then coaching advice is crucial to ensure you work up to your goals and avoid injury. A club should also be able to give advice on finding a local physiotherapist, sports massage specialist or any other health professional you may need.

The

Bedfordshire Clanger

The Cornish Pasty may well be one of the UK’s most famous regional foodstuffs, initially containing both a sweet and savoury filling, but did you know that Bedfordshire has it’s very own traditional version, the Bedfordshire Clanger?

Originally steamed or boiled in a muslin cloth as a suet pudding, the Clanger would likely have been filled with the leftovers from the Sunday meal, with scraps from the joint, potatoes and veg. The sweet end, usually scored to show where to start would be made with jam or a preserved fruit. Reheated on a hot stone, or baked, clangers were probably wrapped in pastry to protect the filling and were a traditional form of fast food.

Still available in the odd traditional bakers, the recipe usually now calls for the suet crust to be baked and research suggests a variety of filling variations which include pork and onion, skirt of beef, stewed apple or rhubarb and custard.

20 34

Make Your Own: INGREDIENTS Suet Pastry • 300g self raising flour • 100g beef suet • Large pinch salt • 50g cold unsalted butter, cut into rough dice • 200ml very cold water • 1 beaten egg to glaze Savoury Side • 1 tbsp vegetable oil • 25g unsalted butter • 1 small onion, finely diced • 1 large potato, finely diced • 175g uncooked pork, cut into 1cm cubes • 1 teaspoon chopped herbs (sage or thyme work well)

The Cornish Pasty may well be one of the UK’s most famous regional foodstuffs SWEET FILLING Simply mix all the ingredients together well.

PASTRY In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, suet and salt.

Now add the chunks of butter and rub in gently, as for scones, until it reaches the breadcrumb stage.

Add the water bit by bit, mixing until it forms a soft, not too sticky dough

ASSEMBLY For the pastry, mix the flour, salt & suet in a bowl.

Add the butter & rub in lightly with your fingertips until the mix resembles breadcrumbs.

Stir in just enough cold water to form a soft dough.

• Dab of mustard • Water, stock or wine, just a splash • Salt & pepper Sweet Side • 1 large cooking apple, peeled, cored and diced • 50g soft brown sugar • 50g raisins or sultanas • 50g unsalted butter, diced • Pinch ground cinnamon

SAVOURY FILLING Gently fry the onion and potatoes in the butter for a few minutes until the onions soften.

Add the pork, and fry until just beginning to catch golden at the edges. Add a splash of water, wine or stock if the filling looks very dry, plus the herbs and mustard. Season well, and remove from the heat.

Allow to cool.

Roll on a dusted work surface to a rectangle of around 1cm thick. Cut this into 4 equal sized rectangles, reserving the trimming. Then roll the trimmings into 4 small sausage shapes to form a damn between sweet and savoury mixtures.

Use eggwash to fasten the small rolls of pastry across the middle of the rectangles (long edge to long edge) and pinch into place.

Now divide the fillings carefully between the pastries, being careful not to cross the barrier pastry. Brush the edges with eggwash, and then fold over lengthwise to enclose the filings. Use a fork or your fingers to close the edges, then use your fork to create 4 holes on the meat side, and lightly place a couple of slashes on the fruit side.

Brush with the last of the egg yolks, and transfer to a preheated oven at 200C and bake for around 40 minutes until the pastry is golden and crusty, and the filling cooked through.

Delicious warm or cool.
