It was a “let’s have a barrel fun” day when 24 members and two guests of the British Club met at the home of Susan and Jim Biestek for a Potluck Pub night on Wednesday, February 28. And roll out the barrel they did, enjoying the camaraderie of fellow members, friends and guests. Our favorite monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, joined us in spirit by way of a Lifesize image, and our Pearly Queen, our very own Ethel Willmot.

They dined on a selection of delicious culinary delights, including sausage rolls, Swedish meatballs, plates of shrimp with cocktail sauce, salmon pancakes, quiche, salads and artichoke dip. Bread pudding was on the menu for dessert, together with chocolate dipped strawberries with grapes, brownies and trifle.

Everyone thanked Susan and Jim for inviting us into their home for this fabulous Pub Night.
