demerara = raw cane sugar
Muscovado = kinda like brown sugar
caster sugar = superfine sugar (but I don't know what that is either)
treacle = molasses

I knew what treacle was but was clueless on the sugars.

I think it is once a month they hold a special weekend where guests book from all over the UK. They stay overnight, and all they eat is puddings! This club is so famous it has been featured on many TV shows over here, and they even have a recipe book with their recipes.
