What a huge weekend!
In 2 weeks we managed to schedule and turnaround a full bbq set up for Sunday 27 September at the Coburg store.
Firstly a big thanks to Andrew Murray, Antonio Cammarano, Tim Sutherland , Connie Tuddenham, Rachel McMahon and Lorraine Ferrari for doing shifts with many doing 4 or more hours each to keep the sausages flying out the door!
We grossed over $2500 selling about 900 snags (that's 85kg of sausages, 55 loaves of bread, 25kg of onion and a load of sauces) and around 150 drinks. A few dashes to the local shops to replenish stocks were needed. Our nett profit was over $1850.
Well done everyone in helping us make this happen on such short notice. This is $1850 we wouldn't have raised a month ago so the effort was well worth it!
Well done!
Paul

The activities were in the theme of commemorating 100yrs of ANZACS, including:
- constructing a catapult,
- cooking ANZAC biscuits in a firepit,
- using navigation techniques to make ground signals to direct overhead planes,
- planning for a soldier hike with pack weight limits in ounces and pounds,
- First Aid Injured soldier scenario, first aid quiz,and
- finally a safe or dangerous items memory test assessment.
A great day of learning or building on their own knowledge to earn skills badges!
Liz and I were both there assisting in assessing patrols in their First Aid knowledge and we learned a thing or 2 about the day as well!

Late Notice Opportunity for our Group - Bunnings BBQ on Sunday 27 September 2015
Hi everyone.
Our contact at Bunnings Coburg rang me just recently to offer our group the chance to take on a late cancellation from another community group.
I acknowledge that this is short notice, however it is a chance to raise some more funds for the group over and above what we were expecting.
We will need to run the roster between 8am - 4pm (or 7:30 - 4:30 with start up and cleanup).
Lorraine and I will be there for most of the day where possible as we are close by
If you can help out can you call me on 0403 812 215, or email me at paulie.ferrari@bigpond.com with your offers to help out, including times you are available on the day.
Regards
Paul Ferrari
