The Village Manager at Watermark Wagga had the idea to build a win-win relationship with the Hospitality division of the local Community College that enables students from the college to prepare and serve meals at the residents annual Melbourne Cup function.
Residents get to dust of the fascinators and enjoy each others company, while the students are granted the opportunity to experience what it is like to arrange and deliver a function.
A fantastic opportunity for young and old to enjoy the festivities of Cup season.
They have been kind enough to share some of their photos below and above (event organiser and resident Jenny Grear enjoying a glass of bubbly). Looks like they all had plenty of fun!
