Looking Back – Mid-Winter Club Dinner at Featherston Tavern, June ’24

The location in the CBD was easy to get to and easy to get home from. The evening was a success, as usual, with 29 happy diners. Everyone was handed a glass of bubbly from your Club Cellar upon arrival.

Below is a reminder of the menu for the evening:

To start

Prawn fritters
Woodys’ smoked chicken breast with cranberry sauce and toast
Pumpkin & haloumi fritters

Main courses

Honey-roasted ham off the bone with roasted baby potatoes, carrots and a mustard sauce
Prosciutto wrap chicken breast with roasted baby potatoes, spinach & a sage butter sauce
Pan-fried fish with fried new potatoes & salsa verde

Dessert

Deep South vanilla ice cream with Hershey’s chocolate sauce
Sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce
White chocolate cheesecake

Whilst the evening was very enjoyable for those in attendance, given the low attendance, Waye is surveying all members who chose not to attend to see if there are any learnings that the committee needs to consider when planning future dinners. Wayne will provide a summary of the findings in a future newsletter.

New Routine

It was great to have everyone help with the tables and chairs at the start of last months’ meeting and taking the same down after the meeting. Also taking the tables contents: spittoons/water jugs/cracker plates back to the kitchen. Could we please continue this new routine.

Reminder

We can’t arrive to do the setting up activities any earlier than 7:30pm as we interrupt the cleaner(s) schedule, the cleaners are in the hall until 7:30pm.

Looking ahead
