The Roast Beef Spit night held at President Carolyn's house as a Fund Raiser for the International Committee was wonderful succees on many fronts. As you would expect, Master Chef John Welsh cooked a magnificent joint of beef, Jenny's committee created a wonderful spread of "sides" to go with it as well as a bountiful array of deserts, and Maurie Selth ran an excellent raffle. Carolyn and Chris Such were marvellous hosts and the weather was surprisingly acceptable for the evening considering the rain of the previous day. Mauries report is succinct and very positive: "Result $2005.87 profit. Magnificent effort by all members. Winner of 12 bottles of Barossa/ Clare Valley shiraz was new member Keith den Hartog. Many thanks to everyone." It was good to see a new member taking home the spoils. Well done Keith. Best thing was the wornderful support of members and friends for the evening. A very successful night for our International Committee. Well done Jenny and her committee The President draws the winning ticket. John on the job. Some of the punters surprised by the result! . The aftermath with Ingrid trying to befriend the winner. Jenny thanking Maurie Inside revellers and their outside counterparts
