Hopefully your children will be interested! It promises to be a very exciting club that will be run by two very enthusiastic ladies!

All in all it should be a nice activity to be involved in and they are sure to enjoy the different aspects to it! As far as I know they will get the opportunity to make things like bookmarks and do other crafts.

"Functional Foods" are foods or dietary components that may provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. These foods already represent a €23 billion worldwide market with projections for futher growth in the future.

However, the general public are often confused and sceptical when purchasing items which claim to confer a health benefit, especially as they often command a premium price.

Dr. Brunton & Dr. Sorenson are researchers in the area of functional foods based at Teagasc's Ashtown Food Research Centre. Dr. Brunton's presentation will attempt to explain the concept of functinal foods, the history behind their development and evidence pointing toward their nutritional importance. Dr. Sorenson will discuss the main new product and consumer trends driving the global functional foods market.

Hey the Library in Blanch is brilliant. I only visited twice, once when my broadband went down and once for a meeting but next year want to get some books. Do you people have baby/parent/pregnancy books?

BlanchLibrary

Hi Lutrell1975,

Thanks for the query!

We do indeed have books on pregnancy, parenting, childcare, etc. On your next visit please ask a member of staff to show you where these books are shelved. Hopefully you will find a book that will suit your needs!
