Unfortunately our plans to dine at the Rivers Edge Cafe were thwarted when we learnt that the Resturant was closing on 31st August.

Members had suggested Velo Winery at Legana so a booking has been secured for 30+ on Wednesday 2 September, 12.30 for 1pm luncheon. The cost for the two course/choice meal has been set at $58/head.

Please RSVP to me as soon as practical [email protected] or phone 0418461547.

" From the President"

Wow!! what a fine dining silver service experience was had today at the Red Feather Inn. This was our 5th and most successful gathering yet with 26 in attendance. The three course menu with choices for each course was prepared by chef Lewis and he did not disappoint. The attention to detail and service by four waitress's was second to none attending to our every need.

Although the day had a distinctive chill of a winters day we all settled into the Inn comfortably and enjoyed great food...

2014 proved to be a stop/go for fine dining experiences. However, we managed to finally settle on Josef Chromy's Restaurant at Relbia. It was a lack lustre luncheon not dissimilar to Hallam's which were both  a little disappointing.

This year I will be selecting with your approval at least three dining experiences. My choices so far include:-

The Me Wah which offers a high quality dining experience with a flexible menu and...
