The award, announced by Michele Cote, minister of regional and industrial expansion, embraced three major categories - small business, marketing, and en- trepeneurship , and Pineridge won for entrepreneurship. The vigorous young company could take top marks in all three categories, but is expanding so rapidly it may soon outgrow the first. Pineridge Barbecue originated in the fertile mind of Julian Bayley. Dur- ing his previous career as an ad agen- cy executive Bayley recognized the promising prospects of a mobile catering service for events such as business conferences, and he could envision myriad other possibilities. Baley approached Bill Taylor with the idea; Taylor had sold out his shares after 15 years in a trailer - building, ompany, and was looking " for "something different". Further research by Taylor confirmed the "tremendous potential for this type of service in the region". The partners invested X20,000 in a cater cart, a semi-automatic stainless steelmobile barbecue that allows one man to cook 220 half chickens, 440 one - inch steaks or chops, 200 back ribs, or 800 hamburgers at one time. The cart can also be used for lamb, sausage, duck, turkey or beef. Wire baskets carry the meat slow- ly over hardwood charcoal, automatically dipping each basket in- to a special sauce on each rotation. One recipe is used for pork, another for beef or poultry. "If Colonel Sanders had our recipe, he would be a•general", Taylor claims impishly. The company now has two large _ cater carts and a smaller one. Two more may be added next year if Pineridge continues to grow at the same rate. Seventy-five percent of business now comes from referrals, and volume has doubled each year. Twenty-five thousand people were fed in 1985, 50,000 in 1986, and the final figure for 1987 should reach 80,000 by the end of the busy May to October season. Among this year's major events were catering a casual lunch for 15,000 at the Honda Motor Company Appreciation Day in Alvinston, the annual CHIN picnic in Toronto, the Stonebridge Farms Show and Auction where an audience of over 5,000 (in- cluding movie, TV and sports stars) attended the sale of some of Dr. Cole's famous Egyptian -Arabian horses, and the Dave Scatcherd Invitational Golf . Tournament in Grand Bend which raises money for the Scatcherd Home for Children. Pineridge Barbecue also holds an annual charity barbecue night in Hensall, supplying food and entertain- ment to a crowd that numbered 400 this year. The Hensall Kinsmen receive the profit from the bar, and the catering company makes a dona- tion to a local organization, service club or institution. Bayley and Taylor are "going seven days a week" in June and Ju- ly, the peak period of demand. They have taken their catering carts as far away as Niagara Falls, Ottawa and Windsor. - Neither has any regrets about changing careers. Bayley observes that the catering business is not as stressful as his former occupation, and `every_occa- sion is a happy one, with people com- ing for a good time". Taylor notes that "chicken doesn't talk back". The only thing he doesn't like about his career is the interrap- tion of family life during the hectic summer season. The company has faced just one crisis. A truck and cart heading to an event in Lion's Head were forced off the road and into the ditch. Taylor fired up the cart and cooked the chicken at the side of the road. Delivery was only an hour later than promised. Pineridge has appointed operators for the barbecue system in Ottawa, Peterborough and Penticton B.C. Young Englishman Andrew Saunders has been training with the company for the past two seasons. He will be introducing Pineridge Barbecue to England this fall. The latest addition to the Pineridge line is a restaurant model, which is a propane -burning, scaled-down ver- sion of the cater carts. The first unit has been sold to a new chicken and ribs outlet in Kitchener, and the com- pany is arranging a series of demonstrations for other interested restaurants and individuals. Already, Pineridge Barbecue is booked for more than 40 events in ot��en O/impieJ According to a survey taken on the holiday, the majority of Mothers were overjoyed to have their children walk- ing out the doors, school bags and lun- ches in hand. Vacation time seemed just a little too long for them this year. The fall program got under way for the Ladies' Auxiliary on Tuesday evening in the auditorium. The com- mittee in charge was Helene Ducharme, Martha Ducharme, Con: nie Lewis and Maria Mathonia. A poem on friendship was read, then the group "The Rin Tin Alley Band" entertained with a variety of music and instruments, with Residents and Auxiliary members joining in with some of the chorus'. Dorothy, Leanne and Troy Ducharme played several piano solos. George Mathonia con- cluded the evening's musical part of the entertainment with accordian numbers. Refreshments followed after which the Auxiliary held the business part of their meeting. We express our thanks to Jim and Anne Borrett for the 500 tarts which they won in a contest. Sure does something for the waistline. On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Marc Chalut took some of the Residents for an enjoyable site seeing bus ride in familiar areas which they have not had the opportunity to visit recently. The Ladies of Hensall United Church held a dinner for the Senior ladies who were members or adherents,. past and present of the church.
