[ MESSAGES ]<br />

FROM THE CHAIRMAN<br />

On behalf of the Board of Directors,<br />

we welcome you to the spring edition<br />

of Focus. Over the past month we were<br />

honoured to support our nation's<br />

farmers through the ‘Parma for a Farmer’<br />

campaign with the donation of $1 from<br />

every Parmigiana and Schnitzel sold<br />

across Wests Group Macarthur over the<br />

month of August.<br />

Our efforts aimed to raise enough money to purchase a full<br />

semi-trailer load of hay to support struggling farmers in NSW<br />

via the Rural Aid initiative ‘Buy a Bale’. We are delighted to<br />

announce our success in reaching our truck load target. Our<br />

trailer of hay, worth over $9,500, will be supplying emergency<br />

feed for livestock in the worst affected drought stricken areas of<br />

Australia to save cattle, sheep and horses. We sincerely thank all<br />

who purchased a parma in support of the campaign.<br />

Here at Wests Group Macarthur, we are driven by our<br />

employee’s performance and commitment and through our<br />

rewards program BRAVO, we aim to recognise our helpful staff<br />

through a variety of initiatives and on-the-spot rewards. We<br />

recently awarded our most prestigious annual award, an overseas<br />

study tour, and just last week we farewelled 14 staff, inclusive of<br />

Senior Managers, Duty Managers and Floor staff, to Las Vegas<br />

Nevada, USA. This is just another reason we are recognised as an<br />

employer of choice, and we wish the team a safe and fulfilled trip<br />

to America and look forward to hearing their ideas.<br />

The ClubsNSW Chef’s Table Competition was recently held<br />

at Ryde Tafe where we entered three teams. We are beyond proud<br />

of each team and overjoyed to celebrate with our Country Club<br />

Chef’s, Luke and Guy who were awarded Bronze. The cook-offs<br />

had some fierce competition with the duos’ entrée scoring top<br />

marks out of all dishes on the day. Our team from Lakeside<br />

placed in the top 10 and our team from Wests were recognised<br />

for the only apprentice team in the comp – congratulations to all<br />

our teams.<br />

Sport in our local community is of significant importance<br />

to Wests and we were thrilled to hold the Annual Wests Sports<br />

Council Awards Dinner in June this year. The Awards Dinner<br />

gave an opportunity for local sports stars to be recognised in five<br />

key areas including junior, youth, senior, team and sprit, along<br />

with the Elite Sportsperson and Elite Sports Team of the year.<br />

Congratulations to all nominees and we wish the best of luck<br />

to all winners in their chosen sporting fields.<br />

Warren Thomson – Chairman of Wests Group Macarthur<br />

FROM THE CEO<br />

As the warmer weather approaches and<br />

the winds have settled, we are pleased<br />

to be on track with our development<br />

plans at Country Club Gledswood Hills.<br />

Welcome to the spring <strong>Edition</strong> 4 of Focus<br />

where you can read about our most<br />

recent awards, achievements and exclusive<br />

member specials.<br />

Our present leading project at Country<br />

Club Gledswood Hills is shaping up to be a sensational first-class<br />

social facility, fit with modern features, contemporary fixtures<br />

and dedicated service. We look forward to our members and<br />

guests enjoying the new outdoor terrace with timber panelling,<br />

comfortable furniture selections and open-roofed slats, along with<br />

an island bar to relish the sunset view over the Camden Valley.<br />

A new communal area for the growing number of families in<br />

the Camden region will be constructed, coupled with a dedicated<br />

toddler section, a soft play facility catering to those aged between<br />

5 and 10 years, as well as an arcade centre. We are enthusiastic<br />

to reveal a collection of new dining outlets inclusive of an Italian<br />

woodfire pizza oven, American BBQ smokers and burger station,<br />

shared alongside our signature Brasserie and Café. We are also<br />

very pleased to offer restaurant quality meals at affordable prices<br />

for our members and guests.<br />

From inside to out, Country Club will expand the carpark to<br />

352 on-grade car spots to accommodate our growing patronage to<br />

the best of our ability. Further, we will be also opening an outdoor<br />

beer garden with a large LED screen. We encourage members to<br />

visit the Country Club where our plans are on display, with hopes<br />

to complete construction before Christmas.<br />

There are also a number of additional development projects<br />

across Wests Group Macarthur in the works, which we hope to<br />

be able to share with our members very soon. We pride ourselves<br />

on offering our local community with exceptional experiences<br />

via our four growing destinations, with one membership journey;<br />

ultimately guided by our values of customer focus, teamwork,<br />

respect, integrity and progressive movements.<br />

Last but not least, in efforts to reward our current and potential<br />

members, and afford them the ability to try out our existing and<br />

new dining channels, any member who renews or joins by 31<br />

October will go in the running to win one of three $100 dining<br />

vouchers every month for 12 months! Members will receive one<br />

ticket per year of membership and enjoy the winning vouchers at<br />

any dining outlet across the Group each month.<br />

some of America’s most prestigious events, each designed by bestselling<br />

author and BBQ Hall of Famer, Myron Mixon, and surpasses<br />

his highest standards for taste, convenience and performance.<br />

Chef's Table Bronze<br />

WINNERS<br />

This year’s ClubsNSW Chef’s Table Competition saw club<br />

chefs from all corners of NSW, cook it out for top spot. Wests<br />

Group Macarthur was proud to have three teams as finalists<br />

in the race to chop it like it’s hot, with Bronze awarded to<br />

our team from Country Club Gledswood Hills.<br />

The Chef’s Table Competition is a<br />

ClubsNSW initiative, created to challenge,<br />

reward and recognise the many talented chefs,<br />

cooks and apprentices employed by NSW<br />

clubs. In <strong>2018</strong>, the teams were challenged to<br />

utilise each of the 'Mystery Box' ingredients<br />

to make their entrée, main and dessert, with<br />

each team only having an hour to plan their<br />

menu. The Competition was intense, with<br />

the teams hoping to show off their skills and<br />

creativity in the kitchen.<br />

Showcasing their culinary talents in<br />

the Mystery Box Challenge were our very<br />

own three teams of Chefs including Shane<br />

Pavitt and Emily Andrew [pictured centre]<br />

representing Wests League Club, Luke Risby<br />

and Guy Billitteri dropping the knife for<br />

[ STAFF ]<br />

The Cook-offs were held at Ryde Tafe<br />

on Wednesday 4 July where all teams were<br />

surprised with the Mystery Box ingredients.<br />

The competition was scored by Judge<br />

Chairman and experienced Executive Chef,<br />

Julio Azzarello, along with Masterchef<br />

contestant, Courtney Roulston, Corporate<br />

Executive Chef, Adam Moore, and owner and<br />

founder of The Red Spoon Company, Nenad<br />

Djuric. The scoring was based on menu<br />

structure, techniques, creativity, presentation,<br />

flavour balance and innovative use of all<br />

Mystery Box ingredients with a variety of<br />

prizes on offer for the winning teams including<br />

domestic trips and tours, educational<br />

masterclasses and mentoring programs.<br />

When it was thyme to turnip the beet,<br />

each team did not disappoint, cooking up<br />

a three-course menu using the supplied<br />

ingredients. Country Club Chefs Luke<br />

Risby and Guy Billitteri blew the judges<br />

away with their pork, rhubarb and fennel<br />

ravioli with celeriac puree, zucchini flower<br />

and sage butter. The Ravioli [pictured,<br />

opposite, bottom centre] was the ONLY<br />

dish out of 123 that received a perfect score<br />

from all three of the tasting judges.<br />

Their score from their entire menu<br />

culminated in a Bronze award for the Duo!<br />

Luke and Guy have won an Italianinspired<br />

series of masterclasses in Wagga<br />

Wagga culminating in a hands-on<br />

experience with Italian Chef Melina<br />

Puntoriero from Manuelina Culinary Italy.<br />

The duo will be taken on a culinary journey<br />

of Italy, covering the art of ravioli and<br />

gnocchi. Members and guests of Country<br />

Club Gledswood Hills look forward to<br />

more of Luke and Guy’s delicious cuisine,<br />

with Italian inspiration drawn from their<br />

Masterclass experience.<br />

Petah Jensen and Caitee O’Donnell<br />

represented Lakeside Golf Club Camden in<br />

the Competition and were successfully placed<br />

in the top 10, along with Emily Andrew and<br />

Shane Pavitt representing Wests League Club<br />

who were given a special mention as the only<br />

team of Apprentices in the Competition.<br />

On behalf of Wests Group Macarthur<br />

Directors, Management and Staff, we<br />

would like to pass on our Congratulations<br />

to all teams involved and are very proud of<br />

each Chef's effort, commitment and overall<br />

results. Well done.<br />

“We are so<br />

proud of Luke and<br />

Guy’s results in this<br />

competition, however,<br />

we are not surprised<br />

considering our<br />

Members, Guests and<br />

Staff get to enjoy the<br />

beautiful and creative<br />

meals these two Chefs<br />

create every day at<br />

Local funds, for local projects<br />

Wests Group Macarthur is proud to support the wonderful work of a number<br />

of very deserving community organisations with nearly $25,000 worth of<br />

funding provided via the local ClubGrants Campbelltown Committee.<br />

All recipients expressed their excitement<br />

and gratitude towards the support from<br />

Wests recently on Wednesday 1 August <strong>2018</strong> at<br />

the local ClubGRANTS funding presentation.<br />

The recipients of these grants were<br />

Campbelltown Cyber Seekers, Eternity Aid,<br />

Foster Care Angels, Top Blokes Foundation,<br />

White Lion Youth Agency and Camden High.<br />

Cyber Seekers [pictured, below left] will be<br />

using the recent Grant to upgrade computer<br />

systems and virus programs, in efforts to<br />

protect current resources and to continue<br />

helping seniors learn digital skills. Eternity Aid<br />

[below, second from left] are planning to train<br />

additional staff for the enriching Life Skills<br />

Mentoring Program within the Reiby Juvenile<br />

Justice Centre to improve skills such as literacy<br />

and numeracy. Foster Care Angels will be<br />

utilising the grant for the purchase, training<br />

and upkeep of a therapy dog.<br />

Top Blokes Foundation will direct funds to<br />

the program implemented at local schools with<br />

a purpose to reduce anti-social behaviour and<br />

offer positive role models aiming to change<br />

young boy’s attitudes and behaviours in a<br />

dramatic way. White Lion’s [below, second<br />

from right] RISE program offers learning<br />

support to young people in the Claymore area<br />

and will benefit from new technology to assist<br />

students in Technology, Science, Engineering<br />

and Mathematics. Camden High School<br />

[below, right] will direct the recently received<br />

money into technology resources for students<br />

with special educational needs.<br />

ClubGrants is a state wide initiative<br />

that recognises the contributions of<br />

local Clubs within local communities<br />

and the financial support Clubs offer<br />

for the funding of community led<br />

projects. The local ClubGrants scheme is<br />

overseen by both Campbelltown Council<br />

and Sector Connect with committee<br />

members including Wests League Club,<br />

Campbelltown RSL Club, Campbelltown<br />

Catholic Club and Ingleburn RSL Club,<br />

where together over $3 million worth<br />

of funds were donated to the local<br />

community over the past 12 months.<br />

The presentation was a wonderful<br />

opportunity for ClubGrant recipients<br />

to present the projects currently being<br />

worked on and the benefits these projects<br />

will bring to various sectors of the<br />

Macarthur area.<br />

[ COMMUNITY ]<br />

Helping Macarthur's hidden<br />

HOMELESS<br />

This Do Something Day, we partnered with Macarthur Homelessness Steering<br />

Committee and One Meal in efforts to support the growing number of hidden<br />

homeless in Macarthur, with our Group acting as a drop off point for supplies,<br />

donating a further $5,000 and volunteering our time to those in need.<br />

Wests Group Macarthur recently partnered<br />

with Macarthur Homelessness Steering<br />

Committee (MHSC) to support 100<br />

families in the local region suffering from<br />

homelessness or living in temporary housing.<br />

The campaign encouraged staff, members<br />

and guests to donate much needed household<br />

items from Wednesday 27 June to the official<br />

Do Something Day, Wednesday 25 July.<br />

A cheque for an additional $5,000 was<br />

also presented to MHSC on the official<br />

Do Something Day to go towards those less<br />

fortune and in need.<br />

The MHSC is a subcommittee of One<br />

Door Mental Health in the Macarthur Region<br />

and is established as a network of community<br />

services and Government Organisations.<br />

It is dedicated to address the vicious cycle of<br />

homelessness with the desire to alleviate the<br />

plight of homeless people and has become the<br />

key objective of the Group.<br />

Wests Group Macarthur staff also gave their<br />

time and volunteered to assist One Meal in<br />

supporting the homeless by serving up hot<br />

meals created by our Chefs for 40 people in<br />

need in our local community. One Meal is a<br />

not-for-profit community organisation that<br />

help to feed, clothe and support the homeless<br />

and underprivileged in the local region.<br />

Homelessness across Macarthur does not<br />

always present in the obvious way. There are<br />

the hidden homeless including couch surfing,<br />

overcrowding and families living in vehicles<br />

for extended periods. When all other avenues<br />

have been exhausted the MHSC and One<br />

Meal organisations are there to support those<br />

who are homeless or at risk of becoming<br />

homeless in Macarthur.<br />

The campaign was an overwhelming success<br />

with donated items collected including<br />

blankets, bed linen, warm clothes, living<br />

essentials, towels, kitchen essentials such as<br />

toasters, utensils, dinner sets, cutlery sets,<br />

glassware or even tents, plus a total of 15<br />

hours’ worth of combined volunteering time.<br />

All items and time were gratefully received<br />

and distributed to families when they are<br />

homed from homelessness.<br />
