The 'give-away' included a range of sweet and savoury foods for people to try, including food made by volunteers at the previous day's cookery skill share at the Sumac Centre.

I an interesting development. Instead of some the past antagonism from managers and staff from within McDonald's .... this time a couple of staff member were at their door, giving out their own leaflets !!!
