A
Big thank you
I
want to give a big thank you to all those that turned up for the
Bunnings BBQ this last Saturday.
Besides
the usual hard working members of the committee we had equally hard
working volunteers; Ray, Sarah, Catherine and Dawn (sorry if I missed
anyone). It was gruelling work at times, but it gave our coffers a
welcomed boost. Thanks guys, you did well.
