Guest Speaker - Hannah Power, Dindi Microbakery
Hannah, who together with her husband Daniel, operate Dindi Dough Microbakery. Hannah grew up in Taggerty, loved cooking with her mother, and completed her certificate in Cooking and Patisserie at TAFE. When her mum passed away, Hannah immersed herself in baking bread, and this eventuated in the registering of her home kitchen (December 2024) enabling the microbakery to sell her sourdough breads commercially, As their business has grown, so has the size of their oven, mixer and fridge to ensure a perfect product is available to the community. Hannah sells her breads, sweet and savoury scrolls, fruit loaves, focaccias on Saturday and Sundays through Just Great Coffee (Yea), and at local markets, including Strath Creek Farmers Mar-ket. With Daniel working full time and Hannah working 3 days a week, and 2 children, homelife if busy. To meet market deadlines, final baking commences at 4.30 am, with many hours of preparation beforehand. Hannah is continually trialling flavours and products and hopes to include produce from their garden into the range.

3 Minute Speaker - Hennie Lanting (with only 3 minutes notice!)
Hennie and her partner Brian have returned to Victoria from Queensland, having moved there during Covid, initially living on the Gold Coast and then moving to a Recreational Village in Harvey Bay. During their time on the Gold Coast Hennie joined Tweed Heads/Coolangatta Rotary Club, which was interesting trying to hold meetings with borders closed during Covid.
Hennie was originally from Dromana, and com-muted into the city for work every day, while still making time for SES, being an active member for 15 years. With both Hennie and Brian having families and grandchildren in Victoria, much research went into finding a perfect town close to Melbourne and close to families for their move back south and Yea came up trumps! Welcome!
Thanks Hennie for the impromptu 3 minuter.
Good to see Charles and Catherine!              
Thanks to the Yea Show Committee for serving another great meal
