Each year since 1998, the PESA (WA Branch) has donated $5 to the Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Foundation Inc. for each person attending the PESA Christmas Lunch.

This year $1,000 was donated and, in total over the last six years, $6,800 has been donated to this very worthy charity. In light of their continued support, the PESA (WA Branch) has been made an Honorary Member of the Foundation this year.

The Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Foundation Inc. is based in West Perth Western Australia. The objectives of the Foundation are:

• To promote medical research into children’s leukaemia, cancers and allied disorders and to encourage and advance investigation into the cause, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these types of illness.
• To undertake such research and investigation and to provide:
  
• facilities for the training of persons in such research and investigation;
  
• teaching facilities for medical students engaged or likely to be engaged in such research and investigation;
  
• postgraduate instruction for medical practitioners in the results and purposes of such research and investigation; and
• instruction to nurses, technicians and others in the practice and techniques of such research.

The PESA SA branch is organising what they claim will be an exceptional experience; one that they doubt could be equalled anywhere else in Australia.

On Friday July 6th at 6.00 pm at the Kings Head Hotel, 357 King William Street, Adelaide, the branch is offering members and guests an organoleptic evaluation* with the brewers of James Squire.

At the paltry sum of $15.00 for members and partners and $20.00 for guests, attendees will be provided with five courses of delicious food and each will be matched with a James Squire ale.
A branch spokesperson has confirmed that interstate members will be more than welcome to attend. “Yes, we are very happy for interstaters to attend”, commented Simon Brealey. “Not only is this event incredible value, it also provides the opportunity for the out-of-towners to taste the country’s five best ales in a uniquely Australian pub”, he proudly added.

In addition to the fine ales and delicious food, there will be a number of door prizes to be won on the night.
