GOURMET GROUP

We had a wonderful brunch, at the Brick Eatery, attended by 33 members. We can highly recommend this venue – both the food and service were excellent.
For our next event we are off to New Orleans for Mardi Gras! Nothing too spicy. Alice will be sending out the menu ideas within the week. Hope you enjoy.
Ian and Jeanette have graciously offered their home as the location for our Christmas cocktail party this year...rain or shine! Sunday 27 November from 4pm to 7pm. More information will follow from Alice.
