Another great Chef's night special

Chicken Kiev Balls

We had a great night this evening with our 3rd Chef Night Special.  About 30 dinners were served to a fun group of diners in a warm store on a chilly evening.
Our Gluten intolerant and Vegetarian diners did not miss out with a special menu for them too.
Now Eric is considering what his next special will entail!
The next dinner is on Friday 18 July.

2014 Wingello Forest Endurance Ride

It was a great day for young and younger

 Last week was the 2014 Wingello Forest Endurance Ride.  And what a weekend it was!
Perfect sunny weather and another well organised event saw horse floats start arriving on Friday evening with more and more arriving from early Saturday morning.
Last year had around 150 riders and this year had 296! Saturday was dedicated to introductory riders and 135 riders gave it a go. 5km, 10km and 20km rides in the beautiful Wingello Forest resulted in many happy riders. We spoke to young and not so young riders who were telling us how much they enjoyed their experience.

It's a precise job balancing the BBQ.

We were there from dawn on Saturday until late that night, and again on Sunday.  Over that time we supplied over 400 burgers, egg and bacon roll, sandwiches and so on.

Burgers with the most under our spotlights

Congratulations to the organisers for such a well run event!  Enjoy this collection of photos I took over the weekend.

Little horses need little riders.  And they have to run too.
