Our recent PUBTALK was a great night with lots of laughs and interesting people.

Our guest speaker, local artisan Kevin Ahearn, shared his knowledge and many funny stories, MC Leanne kept the night running smoothly, and all of the people who stepped up to 'talk at the pub' kept us entertained.

A huge thanks to everyone who came along, it was wonderful to see you all 😀😀
