Food events are always popular at Club Intermed, particularly our yearly 'Just Desserts' evening which took place on the last day of the term - Friday, June 26th, 2009. 40 kids took part on the night. After a first course of fish & chips, we split into 7 groups of five or six before heading over to the supermarket to choose the ingredients for desserts. Each group (under the guidance of an adult or 'responsible teenage' leader) had $16 to spend, in addition to being given a packet of Jaffas with which to spruce up their handiwork. As a group they had to decide what to buy with their money and then, back at the hall, compete for the honour of constructing the most scrumptious and/or appealing dessert. Being conscious of the need to eat healthy foods, a carrot had to be included (and be visible) on each dessert.

Before the kids tucked into their finished desserts, both their handiwork and its makers were photographed. As some groups finished their task well before others, we knew we'd have to go away and compare photographs to come up with a winner. Five judges were asked to pick their top three desserts, awarding three points for first, two for second and one for third. On that basis one dessert was a clear winner on 11 points, with second place getting 6 points and 2 groups tied for third place with 5 points. Congratulations to the winning team - as shown below.
