Centennial Patronal Breakfast - update

Our Centennial Patronal Breakfast held on Sunday 3rd August, was a great success. 
We had the best turnout for a long time, some regular guests said it was the best turnout ever. It was great to see a number of old familiar faces of people who had moved out of the area or for one reason or another had not kept in touch. Some of the guests were lured to the breakfast by the fantastic press coverage that we had in the local Knox Leader. We hope to catch up with a lot more familiar faces at future Centennial Events. 

Centennial International Lunch - update

Our International Lunch was well  attended and catered for a wide range of tastes from a variety of counties including Ireland, France, Italy, Croatia, India, Malaysia, South Africa and many more. The deserts were also a special treat.

Centennial High Tea - update

The High Tea was a "right royal affair" with tables set with the finest silver and china, delicate sandwiches and a spread for the tastiest home  made cakes and pastries imaginable.  Teas and coffees were served thorough out the afternoon by friendly hostesses, while the guests were entertained by guitar soloist Jonathan Coralie and  vocals from the East City Sound Quartet. Live background music was provided by Simon & friend. The highlight of the afternoon was the presentation by Mrs Joy Freier on her experiences working with indigenous peoples of far north Queensland, Northern Territory and some of the nearby island, culminating in the production and distribution of the Kriol Baibul. (see http://www.kriol.info)
