An elegant contemporary Paris-style setting
" Bailli Délégué Ian Fairservice was the Inducting Officer "
We had a delightful Induction Ceremony and Gala Dinner at Board Eau Restaurant in the Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri overlooking the Abu Dhabi Grand Canal.
Bailli Délégué Ian Fairservice was the Inducting Officer. Five new members received their first Chaîne insignia and four members were promoted.
At the reception, to celebrate the inductions and promotions, Mumm Champagne flowed while tasty canapés were served in a stylish belle époque lounge.
A very special menu was crafted for this Chaîne event. Ingredients carefully selected to represent flavours of France together with hints from Indochina in an elegant contemporary Paris-style setting.
