Hakka Association of Western Australia Inc.: Spring Roasts Gathering 春季烤肉聚餐 Hakka WA

The Spring Roasts Gathering sponsored by Honorary Advisor Mr Edward Kuh, Mrs Sandra Kuh & family and Da' Vanti Homes was held at the Kuh's home at Roleystone on 5 November 2011.

Da' Vanti Homes generously donated $500 to the Hakka Commerce Council, an offshoot of HakkaWA, as well as sponsoring the evening's sumptuous roasts and other foods and drinks. They also donated the first prize of a $200 hamper for the Raffling Lucky Draw.

The Kuh family also generously donated a number of prizes for the Raffling. Other members who contributed to the Raffling prizes include Judy Vun, Lily Yit, Juliet Chin, Seu Lin Wong.

Honorary Advisor Mr Francis Yapp brought a bottle of premium wine for all to share. Long time member Mr Chan Mou Sing brought 6 bottles of wine to share, and was the first to turn up at the event, at 3pm.

客属常聚会，春深会山村。11月5日，近300多位西澳客家公会男女老少，踏着春雨，披上晚霞，来到客家公会名誉顾问古远求温玉蓉位于Roleystone山村别墅，参加古先生准备的” 春季烤肉聚餐晚会” 。

古远求先生以华人传统的烤羊肉. 烧猪. 烧鴨以及咖喱. 香茅配制的鳮和猪肉以及其他食品. 酒水，免费供应与会者。

席前，在执行副会长杨奕驹先生主持下，以及杨奕骏秘书长协助积极推崇，举行了以小叶先生捐赠的富贵延年等两幅寓意繁荣昌盛的牡丹. 仙鹤水墨重彩作品的拍卖活动，有别与众的画法，具有特别的视角冲击力，深得乡亲们欢迎。

在不到一个小时的拍卖中就两位新任名誉顾问张启声先生和张小庭先生竞得。他们本着和古远求先生一样心态，为自已公会出钱出力，慷慨解囊做好亊。

83岁的梁英源老先生，在抽奖活动中赢得头奖，众乡亲都说难得英源伯热心参与，他头奖的获得就是众望所归。

It was such a successful event, and there is so much to blog about, so we'll just put those descriptions and comments in the captions below each photograph being blogged:
