Apple Pressing in Aid of our Respite Care Bed

Thank you to all those who came down to the Corbridge Cricket Club this weekend with all their spare apples! John Maude, of the Corbridge Cricket Club and helpers spent two days pressing apples to produce over 1,000 cans of juice, which will be sold in aid of ourselves and the Corbridge Youth Initiative. The juice is being produced by Andy Burrows from the Hadrian Border Brewery, who are planning to provide the cans of apple juice at cost price, which will then be sold at outlets in Corbridge, including the Corbridge Larder. Amazingly, John and his team have used well over 1,000kg of locally grown apples which would otherwise have gone to waste.

Thank you to John, Andy and all those volunteers who helped with the washing, pulping and pressing of the apples. We’ll let you know how many cans of juice they produced and exactly when it will go on sale.
