Some tips for using the Baptist Church kitchen during u3a General meetings

• Lift the shutters by unlocking them with the inserted key and use the long pole to push them up (stored nearby) – or ask the caretaker!
• Check the hot water urn is ON – it will indicate when water is hot enough
• Put out at least 60-80 white mugs on the serving counter (they are stored on trays underneath the counter)
• Suggest you put mugs for coffee plus milk and biscuits on a separate counter
• Jugs for milk are usually stored on the right of the urn with the tea pots
• Bowls for sugar and plates for biscuits are stored in same place as mugs
• Andrea Brokenshire usually brings tea, coffee, milk & biscuits.
  If you feel there are insufficient supplies of any item, please contact Andrea or any other committee member.
  PLEASE DO NOT buy further supplies without authority from the committee.
• About 5 tea bags in the large tea pots is usually enough when tea pot is full (you may need to add more if necessary)
• Suggest kettle is boiled for coffee and placed on counter for use by helpers
• Fill the tea pots from the urn –warning - once full they are very heavy
• The dishwasher, which has a quick wash cycle, is under/close to the sink.
• Tablets are in the cupboard under the sink.
• Mugs may be washed by hand, but check you have enough tea towels for drying
• Once clean, mugs and bowls should be put away under the serving counter, on the trays.
• Clean tea pots and jugs should be replaced to the right of the urn
• Any biscuits left over should be placed in the tin provided. Any unused sugar replaced in the bags
• Switch off the urn and roll down the shutters before leaving the kitchen
