September 28, 2003 will no doubt go down in Tokyo B&B history as a night to remember. Former members came from near and far. Currrent membership was very well represented and of course there were many distinguished guests. The actual guest list can be found below.
We all very much appreciated the generous hospitality shown to us by Ambassador McCarthy and the rest of the staff at the Australian Embassy. The night was well in keeping with B&B tradition. Excellent food, sensational wines and the company of good friends, old and new.
But don't take my word for it, why don't you check out the photos!!! To save space they are not at a very high resolution. However, if you see a couple of photos that you like, note the number of them and send an email to Jordan to get your very own printed copy. There will be samples at the October and November lunches.
