Message from our President - Tim's Tattles

Last Wednesday's meeting was hosted by the Cordon Bley apprentices . There was some exotic food including delicious oysters natural and prawns amongst many other sensational  gourmet food.
 We were served by students from the local schools who practiced their hospitality techniques on us. It all went well.

Note from the Editor re Images and Events
A point regarding the submission of images for the Bulletin and Website: Members are reminded that images have to meet a minimum size requirement, as has been specified for some time in the section at the bottom of this Bulletin. 820 pixels is the minimum size required with larger being better as this allows for cropping. The submission of images via MMS is NOT preferred as they are too small and of inferior quality. Email or Whatsapp is far superior.
Would any member like to take responsibility for the updating of the Club's Event Calendar? I have created a page of instructions here so it is very easy to take over.
Thank you, Ian Ballantine
