Chefs and stewards from Trentham and Linton competed in the Wellington Culinary Fare at the Westpac stadium recently.
All competitors showed their counterparts from polytechs and within industry Army have the skills and knowledge and continue to develop these skills, even if most of its time is spent doing the normal day to day tasks within the messes to keep skills and techniques up to scratch.
Trentham entered two teams in the Ian MacLennan Memorial Trophy. Both teams gained a silver medal, with .8 of a mark between them, while the team from Linton also gained a silver medal.
Teams from Trentham consisted of: Team One - Privates Tupaea, Hermansen and Lyon; Team Two - Privates Crosland, Coombe and Turnbull. The Linton team consisted of Privates Whitehouse, Tam and Wiseman.
