Eve McCorkell introduced our Guest Speaker - Steve Grace from BEACHTREE Distilling Co.  Steve is part owner of this local organic Distillery, and his major role is creating small batches of handcrafted artisan products that seeks to transport consumers across the great Australian Landscapes.   Steve presented 2 bottles, 1 Gin and 1 Rum from their range, purely for display purposes, no tasting allowed!  The bottles are a beautiful work of Australian themed art in their own right, no samples unfortunately.  Steve extended the invitation for anyone to come and view the process - standby for further details for Rotary Members and Partners.  There is a lot more detailed information on their website https://beachtree.com.au/

 

 

 

   

 

Sergeant Les Pontin duly extracted fines for misbehavior or apparent mistakes some members have made and then drew the raffle with the help of Graeme Bowden – and our Guest Speaker Steve Grace won the Meat Tray - Well Done!

Tidy up at the end of another great night!
