10,000 Feet & Falling for a Good Cause!Pray listen to a message from Philip Newman-Hall, Director at CH memberLe Manoir Aux Quat Saisons: “I will undertake a Tandem ParachuteJump from 10,000 feet on Sunday 20th July 2014 on behalf of our mainindustry charity Hospitality Action. Last year, together with a number of"senior" industry colleagues, we raised £25,000 for Hospitality Action byholding our "Back to the Floor" Dinner where we all became waiters orsommeliers for the night. We will not be holding another Back to the FloorDinner until 2015 in London and in order to keep this fantastic event ineveryone’s mind until then I thought I would go "Back to the Ground"instead. My target is to raise £1.00 per foot of my jump and therefore atotal of £10,000, however, as this is a parachute jump I suppose the sky isthe limit!Hospitality Action is The Charity that supports those in our industry whofall on hard times, often through no fault of their own. It also supportsyoungsters coming into the industry who may have financial, drug or drinkdifficulties and provides a life line to older retired members of theprofession who may have no other contacts and relish a day out with otherworkers from hotels and restaurants. So I am asking you to give as muchor as little as you can to support me in this fundraising. £1.00 is fantasticas this covers another foot.....but if you can stretch to more then that wouldbe fantastic. I have set up a Just Giving Page or you could just send anydonations to me here at Le Manoir and I will add them to the Just Givingpage.

Our Award Sponsor Prosciutto di ParmaParma Ham is a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product,meaning that it can only be produced and cured in the traditionalproduction area near Parma, a small northern town in the Emilia Romagnaregion of Italy. The geographical characteristics of the Parma regioncontribute to the sweetness of Parma Ham and make it possible toproduce the highest quality hams. The drying process that Parma Hamgoes through creates a ham that is very low in fat content, with manymineral salts, vitamins, antioxidants and easily digestible proteins. ParmaHam is 100% natural and is truly a food for everyone. The unique taste ofParma Ham is dependent on this traditional production process passeddown from Roman times, carefully controlled by the Consorzio delProsciutto di Parma. There are over 150 producers of Parma Ham in Italywho continue to practice these traditional methods.Only hams that have passed stringent curing regulations approved by theEU and have been aged for a minimum of 12 months can be awarded thestamp of the Ducal crown – a five pointed coronet logo with PARMA in thecentre which is branded onto the ham’s skin. The Ducal Crown is now acertification trademark.For more information, please visit the website.

Food Service Industry is getting Greener reports the Gram GreenPaper although budgets and lack of knowledge appear to remain abarrier.After a two-year wait, the Big Stage, quite literally, was set at Hotelympiaon Tuesday 29th April for the launch of the fourth Green Paper,commissioned by energy efficient refrigeration (Considerate) supplier,Gram. The results from this unique analysis and quantitative research into

sustainability, within the UK foodservice industry, shows that moreoperators and chefs now believe themselves to be greener since the firstreport was launched in 2008. Budget however is still the biggest factorcited by respondents, whilst knowledge is also recognised as a majorobstacle to being greener, and therefore more considerate. Quantitativesurveys were conducted between November 2013 and February 2014 andanalysed by independent research consultancy Cambridge Direction.Partner associations that contributed and supported this research include;CESA (Catering Equipment Suppliers Association), HCA (HospitableCaterers Association), ACE (Association of Catering Excellence), CHA(Considerate Hoteliers Association), IoH (Institute of Hospitality), TUCO(The University Caterers Association), LACA (Local Authority CaterersAssociation), NACC (National Association of Care Catering), MasterInnholders, SRA (Sustainable Restaurant Association) and FCSI(Foodservice Consultants Society International).It seems the industry is still feeling the effects of a double-dip recession,with 55% of respondents to The Green Paper questionnaire saying thatlack of budget was a barrier to having a greener workplace, and only 5%of respondents ‘very willing’ to pay a small increase in costs in order to begreener. Dominic Burbridge, Associate Director at The Carbon Trusthowever believes that we should stop thinking of green being moreexpensive: “Being green means being more efficient. Over the ten-yearlifespan of your kitchen equipment, more than 80% of your money is spenton energy consumed and less than 20% on the equipment itself. Energyprices continue to go up year after year so investing a bit more upfront inenergy efficient equipment is a no-brainer for any business no matter yoursize.”
