The William Angliss Institute Foundation Golf Day

The 2019 William Angliss Foundation Golf Day was held on the 20th of November at the Medway Golf Club in Maideston. The event management team, Eclipse Events, worked closely with Anne Kavenagh and Mark Agius to plan the day.

The 3 key objectives were to strengthen the relationships with key suppliers, raise money for the William Angliss Institute Foundation and guests to have a fun and exciting day of networking.

The event began with a delicious BBQ breakfast cooked by the William Angliss  student chefs. A coffee cart  was generously provided by the WAI Coffee Academy and kick started the players for the fun day ahead. Throughout the day the attendees enjoyed a range of food and beverages with a crowd favourite being the gelato station, which had an amazing choice of flavors. This was a great break from the 32 degree day. Once finished with their round of golf, the guests moved inside for a well deserved lunch. Winners were announced for the raffle and door prizes while the bidding began for the silent auction. With the event culminating in the announcement of silent auction winners, the day proved to be a hit with those in attendance.

Overall it was a successful day, providing guests with lots of food, memories and networking while raising money for a fantastic cause, The William Angliss Institute Foundation.

Ronald McDonald

On the 14th November, Skylight Events had the pleasure to put on a dinner for the Ronald McDonald House in North Fitzroy, it was called the “Ronald McDonald Make a Meal, Circus Dinner”. The event allowed parents to enjoy a night off from cooking and cleaning, while they enjoyed spending quality time with their children!

 

The Skylight team cooked and prepared a home cooked meal for all the attendees. There was a range of food such as lasagne, vegetarian pasta, potato salad, coleslaw and a green salad. The theme of the event was based around the circus. We incorporated a variety of games such as circus bingo, throw the hoop on the clown and we even had Bubbles the Clown come to entertain the children with balloon animals. The parents were impressed with all the delicious cakes we had for dessert, which were all generously donated by Brunettis. However, the children particularly loved the donut decorating station, filled with scrumptious Krispy Kreme’s!

 

The event ran very well and all the attendees that showed up were so grateful and satisfied with the efforts we put into hosting the event. Overall Skylight Events ran an incredible event for an incredible cause.

This decadent afternoon tea is presented at The Angliss Restaurant, our on-campus training restaurant and this year the event date was the 31st of October.

The 120 guests have been welcoming with canapée and drinks of their arrival and after seated in the restaurant where they enjoyed the delicious varieties of teas and the patisserie buffet.

For the first year, the guests were not served by a hospitality class like the previous years but they were challenging served by the other part of the first stage Event Management Diploma class. There were so many positive comments on the styling on the tables.  There was a lovely music played throughout the event, timed with the theme Foraging in the rain garden.

Over all everyone enjoyed their time at the William Angliss Patisserie High Tea 2019.

The Royal Australian Regiment Association Annual Dinner 2019

William Angliss Restaurant was a-buzz at 6:30pm on Wednesday November 20th, 2019.

The Royal Australian Regiment Association members had arrived for their annual dinner.
Each year the members, their partners and friends get together for a night of good food, good wine and a chance catch up with those who shared the honour of serving their country in times of need.

The association is formed by veterans and battalions of the Australian Army from wars such as World War II, the Korean war, the Vietnam war and more recent conflicts such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
This year, purpose of the dinner was more than a social gathering; it was also with the hope of recruiting some younger blood to the association.  A table of current service men had joined in the celebration of the year that was.

After some arrival drinks, guests were seated by 7pm and the night began with a short welcome speech from association organiser Peter Fraser.
Mains were served shortly, followed by a delicious dessert of Spiced gingerbread cake and roasted pear accompanied by candied almond ice-cream.

In between, there were a few short speeches by members of the association who wanted to express gratitude and share information with the crowd. Including an address from association president John James.

As is the nature of the events industry, there were changes throughout the night that our ‘Eventure’ team of five was able to adjust to and work with.
Silvana Madia, the stage one events Functions leader was there to assist and guide each student in their roles as well as being the security you need when you run your first event.

Front of house co-ordinator Jorja Wernert was able to lead the floor and work with the chef to ensure a smooth service.
The bar was buzzing with members buying and adding to tabs as Beverage coordinator Georgia Thomson kept a cool, calm and collected attitude to the demands.
Stefan Ong, the team’s protocols coordinator was our man on the night ensuring all moments were captured and organised a smooth-running registrations process for members.
Catherine  Deng, the team Administrator made sure the organisers felt at home and worked closely with association member Peter Fraser to deliver the envisioned guest experience.
Finally, the room was a vision in commemoration as designed by team Stylist Elizabeth Lingard. Taking inspiration from the Anzac commemorative poppies and rosemary plant as well as the association badge colours, the room was an elegant vision of white, red and green.

Special mention to the WAI hospitality students led by teacher Sandra Garland who could not have been any easier to work with, giving guidance to our events students where needed.

Members of the Royal Australian Regiment Association and students could be seen mingling and laughing the night away. In the end, the night was the perfect ending to the year for both client and students who have worked collaboratively for the last few months to create this experience.
