Ros thanks everyone for pitching in to cancelled the event – the right decision though she suspects we have all spent as much time cancelling as putting it on!!
A quick update – although there is still work in progress!
Hire:
Tony Corbett, our roving Honorary Member has managed much of this and we have avoided most costs for toilets, Uniting Technology, Face Painters, Chloe
Premier Hire VMS were used to advertise the cancellation on the 2 Bartley Terrace units
St Johns First Aid – suggesting we put them on our donation list despite the cancellation. TBC in the mop up.
BBQ/Drink/ice Cream
Thanks B1, Brenda, Gary & Denis for handling this, we have also specifically stopped the trailer collections from the Rotary shed (thanks Ken).

A team met up on Sunday morning to repack over 1,000 snags from Olga's Fine Foods. About 600 have been frozen, to be thawed for this weekend's Bunnings BBQ on Sat 16 December.
The remainder are now in the freezer at the National Railway Museum.
