Here is another great reason to come to our dinner.
Allow me to introduce you to Chris Allen, veteran, author and so much more.
Chris
Allen was born in Perth, Western Australia. A former paratrooper, Chris
served with the Australian Army including attachments to the New
Zealand Army, the British Parachute Regiment and deployments to Africa,
South East Asia and Central America. He retired at the rank of Major.
In
addition to his military career, Chris led security operations for a
major international aid agency in East Timor during the 1999 emergency,
oversaw the upgrade of Counter Terrorism First Response measures at
Sydney Airport in the wake of the September 11 attacks of 2001, and in
2003 when protestors painted ‘No War’ on the sails of the Sydney Opera
House, he was headhunted to take over the protection of the iconic
landmark.
In 2008 he was appointed Sheriff of New South Wales, one
of Australia’s most historic law enforcement appointments.
As if that is not enough, Chris is a successful author and he is generously donating a complete set of his books to be auctioned on the night. This will include his four full novels: Defender, Hunter, Avenger and Helldiver, and the short story (novella) Ranger.
But wait, there is more. Chris is happy to sign them on the night for the lucky winner!
