The Society was able to introduce five new chefs to the members out of the 9 dinners I arranged. I believe that Chris Shapstick from the Turret and Ryan Pearce from trident chef were the outstanding chefs this year.
Some of the other notable dinners included the joint Beef Steak function, The Luigi Bazzani Order of Australia ladys lunch and the 750th Dinner at Craigs. The Cafe Meigas night was a lot of fun with more food than we could poke a stick at and the warm welcome from Jose and Yamelly added to the occasion.
The good range of Spanish wines in our cellar that we enjoyed only goes to show what a great job Jim has done in giving us exposure to wines around the world. I’m sure we shall enjoy Jim’s contribution for many years to come.
I would like to thank Mal for being a great support in getting the dinners together. His good humour and passion for the task is always something to look forward to.
I look forward to continuing in the role should that be the wishes of the membership and finding some more new chefs and passionate restraint operators.
