On Sunday evening, October 25, a roast beef dinner was held in the church hall, attended by approximately 100 people. Under the watchful eye of Marlene Corfield and with the help of many volunteers, the ACW prepares this supper about four times a year as a fundraiser for the church. Marlene has been organizing roast beef dinners at St. Andrew’s since 2008. She has also organized this same supper after the yearly golf tournament since 2011. That’s a lot of roast beef! Whenever possible, a carver will greet the guests at the top of the table to offer them their favourite cut.

In 2008, the dinner cost $12 for adults and $5 for children. Post-COVID, the cost is $20 for adults and children under 7 are free. Women of the church bake a delicious assortment of pies. If there are any leftovers, they are taken to the local foodbank, but more often, the dinner is sold out and a sign posted on the door for latecomers that there is no roast beef left!

The dinner is open to the entire community, and the hall has hosted as many as 148 guests from the church and the community. The fewest guests, 55 in number, arrived one winter during a January white-out.

The roast beef dinner is a popular Wellington outing that benefits both the community and the church.
