A fun and delicious Taste of Africa
After a year of planning combined with a snow postponement, the South African Wine Tasting Dinner finally took place last Friday evening at the Henley Rugby Club.
The Rugby Club was transformed with a South African theme and about 130 people enjoyed entertainment from genuine South African drummers and a Champagne Reception. The Wine Tasting was led by Guy Butterwick from Claret-e, with some delicious wines from Laithwaite's, which were selected from the along the route that the boys will be taking this Summer. Keeping in the spirit of the Game, everyone then took part in an entertaining version of “The Wine Buff’s Guide to Heads or Tails”!
Post dinner, Tony Smyth gave a fascinating talk about the Goedgedacht Trust, and this was followed by an animated Live Auction of some generously donated prizes, which raised considerable funds for the Goedgedacht Trust and SKRUM charities.
Thank you to everyone involved in the organisation and to everyone who came and supported. Here’s to a fantastic Moulsford South Africa 2018 Rugby Tour!
