Social programme
Short course BBQ dinner
For those attending the Short Course, a
BBQ dinner for participants has been arranged at Cafe Catalpa,
Tarrington, on Sunday evening 6th April. Tarrington, known as
Hochkirch until World War I, is a tiny village located close to
Hamilton, dominated by the high tower of St Michael’s Lutheran
Church. It is also known by wine enthusiasts for its two very
small vineyards, producing high quality but hard-to-get wines.
Cafe Catalpa, run by local legend Graeme Wood (known to all as
“Woody”), has earned a high reputation for its
cuisine. Woody has been contracted for all the catering at this
conference.
The cost of the BBQ Dinner is included in the Registration Fee for
participants of the Short Course. Others are welcome to attend on payment of an additional fee of $50.00 per person.
