It will be in a new venue this year – at the Timbercutters Restaurant, at the intersection of the Murray and Edward Rivers at Picnic Point – and will be held on Sunday week, June 18.
The event will offer attendees a delicious range of hot and cold foods, as well as sweets and cakes. Items will also be for sale and auction.
Unfortunately for slow coaches like myself who missed out on getting a seat, we can always get some raffle tickets.
