It’s that blessed time of year when the PESA Winter Warmer provides respite from the weather’s
ravages and solace from EOFY traumas.
This year, PESA secured the prestigious surroundings of the Celtic Club in West Perth and on a
decidedly chilly Friday evening in July a glass of mulled wine on arrival was most welcome. A record
turnout of over 80 souls enjoyed the delicious lip-smacking food platters and beverage selection.
Conversations were long and florid and went on for many hours, with frivolities only interrupted by
the prize raffle drawer. This year we had two amazing and very topical prizes, a bottle of Dorado 12-
year-old rum and another of Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon. These were kindly provided
by Carnarvon Petroleum and their very own Luke Tomlinson pulled the winning tickets. The lucky
victors were Anne Forbes and Hugh Merrett, and there were enough proceeds to fund a student
registration for this years AEGC. Many thanks to all those who purchased tickets, a fantastic result all
round.
We would like to thank our sponsor for the PESA WA Winter Warmer, Chemostrat Australia, for their
continuing support for this event and making the evening possible. It was just what the doctor
ordered!
