Event:
Wine Tasting Evening The wine tasting evening
took place on 16th November. Teams had the chance to try 5 different wines
and thrash out the country of origin, price, alcohol content etc. The
evening made for an interesting science experiment. We proved that: 1) Members of Southend
Drama take a far bigger interest in drinking wine than knowing where it
came from. A big "Thank You" to John and Juliet for hosting another successful social event for us!
