A special thank you to the very talented Jake Meadows who entertained guests with his signature sound – a fusion of the harp and electronic music. Thank you also to 'Sweet and Gav', musicians Kelly Sweet and Gavin Rimmer, who performed pro-bono and really got the room on their toes. A heartfelt thank you to Kath McKenzie who was our wonderful MC and to auctioneer Michael Hawkins who once again whipped the crowd into a bidding frenzy.
Cheers also to Sean Hannah and Michael Stevens, from Green Kitchens & Joinery who were this year's event sponsor, and to committee member Samantha Waller for this introduction. Thank you to our seafood sponsor Cummins Seafood and to the wonderful Jan Cummins, who generously donated oysters and prawns for our champagne and oyster bar.
