THIS WEEK IN HISTORY

September 7th 1986
Bishop Desmond Tutu became Archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa, the first black head of South Africa’s Anglicans.

September 9th 1993
Israel and the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) agreed to recognize each other, paving the way for a possible, peaceful end to the hundred year old conflict….(or not).

September 11th 2001
Four separate teams of terrorists operating from inside the Unite States hijacked and then crashed 4 planes (2 into the Twin Towers in New York, 1 into the Pentagon building in Washington, and the last crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to overpower the hijackers). Over 3000 lives were lost as a result of the above acts.

September 12th 1940
Near Montignac, France a collection of prehistoric cave paintings were discovered by 4 teenagers who stumbled across the ancient artwork after following their dog down a narrow entrance into a cavern. The paintings are 15,000 – 17,000 years old. The Lascaux grotto was opened to the public in 1948 but was closed in 1963 because the artificial lights had faded the colours and caused algae to grow over some of them. A replica of the cave was opened nearby in 1983 and receives tens of thousands of Visitors regularly.

Week Four of the Winter Menu starts on Monday 14 September.
Please place any orders by lunchtime the Thursday before.
Bon Appetit!
