This morning's Members' Activity was all about coffee and it was a gathering of coffee connoisseurs for an informative talk all about coffee came to be a popular drink, how coffee came to Malaya via the Italians and then later, the British, and the trials and tribulations of the early coffee planters.
As always, it was less of a formal talk than a social gathering of members and a few non-members with coffee being served (what else would have been more appropriate?) to go with red velvet cake and biscuits.
The turn out was quite good in spite of the threat of more rain and everyone had a good time discovering that our local coffee is 'robusta' rather than 'arabica' as well as comparing the individual merits of the two main types of coffee beans.
