Scott’s Spot Hello all and welcome to the July edition of Scott’s Spot. This month’s edition is a little shorter due to some R&R for me, however, I will cover the usual short stories and photos that have occurred over the last month. REGIONAL MEETINGS Once again, we had two incredibly well attended regional meetings by both our members along with our valued corporate partners. The Yorke Peninsula meeting was held at The Marion Bay Tavern with attendance for the region the highest seen for several years, I was reliably told. The Eyre Peninsula meeting was held at the Cleve Hotel Motel with once again a fantastic turnout by Members within this region, which covers such a vast area. Massive thanks to both venues for hosting. I would like to acknowledge retired publicans in excess of 15 years at the Royal Hotel in Moonta alone, Jenny and Dennis Liddy. Enjoy guys.
While on the Cleve Hotel Motel, a massive congratulations to Benny Shannon who was recently announced as SA Country Bartender of the year. Super result and Ben’s service throughout the regional in Cleve lived up to his lofty reputation.
AHA|SA OFFICE NEWS I just wanted to share a story regarding our very own Ian Horne. I’m not exactly sure which journalist this came from, however have a read and make your own mind up! Some companies worry that their CEO is spending too much on “ivory castles” in their offices. During a recent podcast interview in Ian Horne’s office, the journalist became very concerned about Ian’s squeaky office chair. So much so that the interview was paused and he was moved to a lounge chair. It seems the squeak was so loud it was affecting the audio recording. When the journo returned for the second half of the interview a week later, he brought a can of good old RP7! Here’s a photo of the front of Ian’s office chair. Not a pretty sight! He reckons there’s at least two years left in it!
In this month’s edition of, “Interview with the AHA|SA”, have a look and see what Simone from the Duke of Brunswick and Damian from the Exchange in Gawler , have to say answering some hard hitting questions.
