Industry Night at The Mantle...17.6.09

Here I am...my last night of my 18 month Cookery Course...Certificate III Commercial Cookery

and tonight I am in the Dining Room.

It is an Industry Night...Employers of the Apprentices in the class are invited to The Mantle Restaurant (The Training Restaurant at the College) to see...and partake in the food...that their Employees have cooked up for this very important evening...

I am in the Non Trade part of the course...meaning I am not an Apprentice...
