Gold Coast Wine and Food Society 

As President of the Gold Coast Wine and Food Society, I personally invite you to join us for the 2009 Victor Gibson Weekend. The members and friends of the Federation of Australian Wine and Food Societies are invited to join us. Principally we are gathering to pay tribute to Victor Gibson AO who through his efforts, with Bill Rudd, formed the inaugural Society in Australia. In addition to the Victor Gibson Weekend, there are added attractions the Gold Coast has to offer: Surfing, Parasailing, Fishing, Winery Tours, and much much more. Why not extend your Victor Gibson visit to make it part of a wonderful Gold Coast Experience.
