Day 4 - BGF Presentation at the Congress

Day 4 was an exciting day... nerve-wrecking at some point for some, while others stayed up late at night to ensure that they delivered a flawless presentation of their clubs.

Andy and the Young Chefs Development Team were invited onto the stage by President Gissur.

Alan and Andy gave a brief introduction and then welcomed the Young Chefs onto the stage. 
 I like to move it move it... I like to move it move it... everyone all pumped up, and grrrooveed, and mmmmoooovvvvved it :)   President Gissur was no exception 
 Keep on mmmoovvvvvinnnngggg...  :)

seemed like the 5 chefs in front were having more fun moooooving






 President Gissur was presented with a flashy bow-tie by the Young Chefs
 oh.... a multi-purpose bow-tie... a suitable hair band for a Fancy Dress party
 Yep, I am keeping this one handy in my luggage :)
 President Gissur was a great sport :)
 To finish off her term as Ambassador for the Young Chefs, Kelly presented what she had done over the last 2 years. 

 We have the new Ambassador, Jasper sharing with us his thoughts, visions, and what he hopes to be doing for the next 2 years.

 Bonding among the Young Chefs came very naturally, the Origami-making session during our bus trip to Hanul Kimchi Production was a good example....
and so we had the chefs having a bit of fun... bonding

 Our Young Chefs Jatu and Budi from Indonesia bonding with a table of Chefs and giving some tips on how to transform a piece of paper to a beautiful crane.

 and it was a fighter plane...LoL
 Back to business, Belinda from Singapore delivered her presentation

 Hong Kong Team, led by TY, delivered a group presentation







 Heather from Nova Scotia introduced what their club members are doing back home


We wanted to throw a surprise for the participants/chefs at the Congress... and what do we know.... 
Dr Bill Gallagher surprised us all, calling us on SKYPE and addressing the chefs. Everyone was excited to hear from Dr Gallagher, the reason why we have Bill Gallagher Forum.

And, we had our little surprises for Dr Bill Gallagher too.
Cornelia, a long time friend and great supporter of Bill Gallagher, read out a beautiful poem dedicated to our mentor - Dr Bill Gallagher.



 Jodi-Ann made an excellent speech, and put together a Tribute presentation - totally awesome!!!
Thanks Jodi-Ann for sharing with us at WACS Young Chefs

We then continued with our presentation, from Malaysia 
together with Penang 

 Zane and Adam both got the opportunity to share with Andy what their clubs are also doing in their home country.
 And last but not least, we have Juta and Budi sharing with us what their clubs are doing in Jakarta and Bali
 Andy and the Young Chefs Development Team thanked everyone for their participation, and wished them all the best in their endeavours.

A BIG "Thank you" to Steve McFarlane, for sharing most of the pictures from this event for our WACS Young Chefs Blog
