Our Cuppa Conversation last Saturday had an excellent turnout. Lili decided to hold it at a beach-side venue – the Esplanade Hotel – which worked well. Everyone had a lovely view of the sea from the main dining room and the electric train from Adelaide to Brighton was a new way for everyone to travel to site. A few of our guests decided to take advantage of the sea-side location and spend an hour or so at the beach.
Our next Board Meeting will be held at John Wotherspoon’s home on Wednesday 21 February at 6.00pm.
I look forward to seeing you all at the Kent Town Hotel this Thursday at 6.00pm. Our scheduled guest speaker – Anesha Rahman – is unfortunately now not able to attend on the night, so we will have a more informal get together on the night. Dean has lined up some great speakers for March.
Best wishes and have a wonderful week. Yvette, President.
Complementing our recent Clare Riesling, we’re pleased to offer an excellent McLaren Vale Grenache that’s half price at just $150.00 per case ($12.50/bottle).
Grenache is now available in half a dozen at the price of $75.00.
Give your fiends and family an excellent deal, while helping to fund our local and overseas Rotary service work. among other things, we’re building water supplies in Timor Lesté, rescuing Afghans fleeing the Taliban and making recent Oz migrants quickly feel welcome.
The wine is ready for collection, so please contact me or Rob by email or phone below to order it.
For the benefit of members, we will aim to give the Duty Roster a few weeks ahead - see below.
