感謝美孚區議員沈少雄先生的協助，在美孚孚佐堂重開之後，舉辦了今年第一次真偽有機菜講座，一班想認識有機行業和種植有機蔬菜的聽眾，從各區遠道而來，講座後亦踴躍發問，令我心感恩惠。
講座於晚上八時舉行，為求講座期間冇人飯氣攻心嗑眼瞓，我久不久會問一條在講座裡談過的問題。圖中各街坊和來賓有聽書兼搶答成功，獎品是新鮮收割當茬蔬菜一份。
The talk was held at eight o'clock in the evening. To make sure everybody was with me, once in a while, I asked questions taken from the content of the talk. The folks in the pictures were the first to give me the right answers. I awarded them with a prize - freshly harvested in-season veggie from our farm. (ac)
