The class pf 2009 flying instructors met as a group for the first time 19 Jan 2010. Belgian Beer Garden was the place chosen because it was sort of central to everybody except Tom.
The Belgian Beer Café Bluestone was established in the grounds of Vision Australia (formerly the Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind) in 2002. Housed in an historic bluestone building, it comprises a bar and restaurant reminiscent of a 1920s Brussels bistro as well as Melbourne's biggest and liveliest beer garden. The bar and restaurant's interior features dark timbers, rustic furniture and leadlight windows that open out to the beer garden.
Sam, Dan and I arrived at about 7.30pm and we had our first round of Leffe Brune, a dark colored ale and sat by the benches under the trees in the beer garden.
Then Ash arrived and we adjourned to dine inside the Cafe. Dan ordered us some salt & pepper calamari, pork belly and Provencale mussels steamed with tomato, garlic and basil. Wow, yummy.
We then sampled some othe types of beers: Stella Artois and Hoegaarden White.
Tom arrived about 9pm to join us for a couple of beers. We caught up on how our tests went and what he was doing at Lilydale Airport.
This is a bun ch of fun-loving guys just out for a good time. Ash is still teaching in Moorabbin and the other 3 of us are looking to get a position in Mangalore. So far so good. We thought we might organize another one after we have started our instructions......
