A happy table of friends and guests at the formal dinner to clebrate the Canberra cafe

The dinner was held in the Skylight Restaurant on 30th March, 2013. The dinner began at 7:00 pm.

It was beautifully laid out, and catered for about 140 people. Others were served in the Canberra cafe next door.

Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Sandy Allan.

A special guest was the Mayor Tamworth Regional Council - Col Murray.

Cathy Calokerinos spoke first and thanked everyone for coming (some having travelled large distances) on behalf of the Calokerinos family.

There was a great deal of 'kefi' and 'filotimo' at the venue, and some of the speeches delivered were heart-rendering.
