Wine, cheese and art night a sell-out

The Bays Community Group's recent annual Wine, Cheese and Art Night was a sell-out, according to organiser Mr Danny Moscatelli.

"On this night the 120 residents, friends and guests enjoyed a warm, convivial atmosphere while sipping wines presented by Marc Scalzo, winemaker of Rutherglen Estate Wines," Mr Moscatelli said.

"They grazed from the tables laden with a banquet of cheeses and delicacies on offer and enjoying the art that was for sale.

"All six artists, Graeme Balchin, Bronwyn Van de Graaff, Russell Austin, Karen Bloomfield, Helen Mortimer and Max Streeter were in attendance and each generously donated a piece of their artwork that was auctioned off on the night.

"The doors of the Community Hall were open again over the Saturday and Sunday and the visitors braved the cold, windy weather to come and view the art in a more relaxed environment.

"They spent time talking to the artists, and enjoying a quiet Devonshire Tea."

Both the proceeds from the Friday night and from the steady stream of visitors over the weekend contributed to the Community Group raising funds towards the ongoing maintenance of the Community Hall and its grounds.
