The society committee is getting ready for another special gathering of Scottish business leaders in Melbourne as they prepare to host the annual St. Andrew’s Day celebration Members Long Lunch. Bringing together both familiar member faces and newcomers for an afternoon of camaraderie.
“We are thrilled to announce a lineup of distinguished guest speakers, including April Kelly from Scottish Development International (SDI) and Max Allen, the renowned wine and drinks columnist for the Australian Financial Review. Max will take us all on a captivating journey through the history of Scottish-owned wineries and distilleries that have thrived right here in Victoria. Max, with his three decades of expertise in the world of spirits, has expertly curated a remarkable selection that is not to be missed.”
The British Consul General will also be in attendance, adding an official touch to the celebration with a toast dedicated to the ‘Scots in Melbourne’ on this special day.
