From Paris Chic to Sydney Style 45+

#### Salut Chiccies,

#### For our end of year Christmas lunch, I've chosen the Cottage Balmain. As they say, The Cottage is a place to meet, to eat, to celebrate. A charming heritage building, The Cottage has been at the heart of Balmain since late 1800s.

I've reserved the Atrium room. Nestled at the back of the venue, this light filled private courtyard is the perfect connection between the outdoors and indoors. Featuring a louvered roof, heating and plenty of greenery. Groups can also enjoy welcome drinks at the private bar before moving onto dining.
The Atrium has a tranquil, relaxing vibe. The ideal space to indulge and celebrate.
I've booked the group feasting menu at $95 per person. It seemed the best value and more joyous.

Please don't forget the $2 coin towards payment of the meetup site.

As always I have given my credit card number as guarantee to there is no room for noshos,i forgot, or I didn't realise I was going.

Hope to see many of you for our last lunch of the year.
Best to you,
Norma

Hi Chiccies,
I hope you can join me for January's event for some chocolate making !
Our chef Helene, was born and raised in Belgium, a country famed for its delicious chocolate. She is a qualified chocolatier having studied the art of chocolate making in Brussels and has had the fortune of being trained by some of Belgian's best chocolatiers. Now migrated and settled on the Northern Beaches, this is her own chocolate business and shop aimed at providing the best Belgian chocolate experience.

We will ​discover the art of chocolate making in a private workshop at Choc & Moi in Dee Why. During this interactive experience, we will learn about the different types of chocolate and create delicious truffles to take home. Don't worry if you're new to chocolate making, these workshops are designed to be fun and hands-on, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone. You'll be guided through the process by Helene, ensuring a supportive and inclusive environment. By the end of the workshop, you'll have a batch of delicious chocolate to share and enjoy.
The cost is $95 for a 2 hour lesson and we must have a minimum of 6 people.
