Christmas Day Christmas Day CHRISTMAS DAY MADE DELICIOUSLY EASY
In October this year Stephen lost one of his own teammates, Minh Griffiths, to a sudden and tragic massive heart attack in a gym. ‘It shook our team and we are without a great friend’ said Stephen. ‘We in hospitality push ourselves daily to achieve great results in a kitchen and often neglect our health. So, with the help of many of our hospo friends we will try to change things by getting together and making time to put our health first,’ Stephen added. Stephen is putting a call out to all his hospo friends, and the wider community, to join in the challenge; with all funds raised going to the Heart Foundation. To find out more and register with ‘Healthy Hospo Hearts’ go to: https://www.doitforheart.org.au/fundraisers/ healthyhospoheartsteam Swim, walk, run, bike ride as much as you can with some other work friends, get together and chat and start the day off in a healthy way. It is a simple way to raise money and stay healthy. The challenge kicks off now and will end with a six-course degustation at Ballina RSL prepared by six of the region’s finest chefs at a Charity Dinner on the 9 February, 2022. Bookings for the degustation can be made via www.ballinarsl.com.au For further information or interviews call Stephen Mills on 0413 303 707.

Limited release locally distilled Lord Byron Distillery is located right in Byron Bay and have an excellent range of spirits available to try and to buy, right in the Byron Arts and Industry Estate. They are now releasing their fourth barrel of Pure Single Rum as a collectable numbered bottle release. There are only 100 bottles available online, with a limit of two bottles per person. This rum is from 2018 cane harvest molasses that has been firstly aged in a 260 litre, refired red wine cask and then, for 6 months, in an export barrel. Bottled in 2021 at cask strength as a numbered release, the beautiful caramel,
chocolate, liquorice and raisin flavours marries well with the port finish to perfectly
compliment the cleanliness of the double distilled spirit.
