MEMBERS SOCIAL NIGHT: THURSDAY JULY 8^TH.
WINE TASTING AT THE CLOCKTOWER APARTMENTS

July 8^th may have been a cold and uninviting night but luckily this did not deter members from attending the MBN social event at the Clocktower Apartments. Sixty members enjoyed excellent food, a variety of wine and non stop conversation.

Helen Hoefnagels generously provided the venue and many guests accepted her invitation to tour the renovated building. Members were fascinated to see the restoration and transformation from post office and mail sorting venue to its original grandeur: now operating as accommodation and conference/ private function facility.

Two MBN members, Morrison’s Restaurant and Winery and Stevens Brook Estate each provided a wide range of quality local wines to taste and a bottle for a lucky door prize.  Matthew Wright, the new CEO of Murray Human Services and Mark Ryan from Successful Resumes, were the lucky members to have their business card drawn for these prizes.

Everyone commented on the varied, plentiful and tasty food provided by Radcliffe’s/ LG Catering.

Member only social nights are always an excellent networking opportunity and an enjoyable way for new members to meet other members. From the noise level and effort needed to gain everyone’s attention for the formal part of the evening, members were all successfully engaged in networking and or socializing.

The following new members were all welcomed and introduced;

Dee Coote: Dee’s Book keeping

Adrian Foster: idata

Susan Glennan: Susan Glennan Interior Design

Louise Arnott: Sureways Employment

Charles L King Real Estate

Beth Baker: Clark Rubber

The night was a huge success and special thanks to:

• Helen Hoefnagels (Georgian and Clocktower Apartments) for hosting the event in the beautiful Clocktower Apartment complex.
• Jacqui Stevens (Stevens Brook Estate) and Simon Reid (Morrison’s Winery Restaurant) for sharing their wines, time and expertise.

• the Events committee for organizing such a successful night.

Hopefully the photos illustrate the ambiance and success of the night.
