a recipe for a successful night out...

...take one slightly merry Righttrack team, stir in some good food and wine, add a little live music and, for good measure, sprinkle with a celebrity chef or two.

On a recent team trip to the Taste of Birmingham in Cannon Hill Park this is exactly what happened when one lucky (and very happy) team member, Vicci Whelan, Support Team Manager, managed to grab a quick chat and cheeky photo with top celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli. Needless to say she was 'egg-static' to meet him and the whole team ended up having a great 'thyme'.

Someone call the joke doctor...
