A Taste of Stanley Calendar launch at the Stanley Pub 


Last month a gathering of 25 people came to the launch of the ‘Friends of the Athenaeum’ 2020 Calendar at the Stabley Pub. This year’s calendar is themed around the glorious produce and tastes of the Stanley plateau.
Various producers, along with the Stanley Pub, sponsored a page with their logo, seasonal photos and a recipe, and there is also9 an archival photo from the Athenaeum collection.

The ‘Friends’ did lots of hunting and collecting for the images and the launch was a great night. 

Trish Bloom was so impressed she asked for it to be an award for a VCE Food Studies student, and Greg and Robyn from the Stanley Pub kindly provided delectable platters and even the newest member of the Stanley family, their four-week-old son, joined in! 

So, if you haven’t already done so, pick up your copy of The Taste of Stanley Calendar 2020, featuring recipes ‘tried and true’ from local sponsors and Friends of the Athenaeum. It is a truly unique publication. 

For sale at $20 from; the Stanley Post Office, at the Athenaeum during opening hours, or by email: stanleyathenaeum@gmail.com
