BUSY TIME IN SEPTEMBER FOR BBQs
 
September is shaping up to be a busy month for BBQs, with several invitations received for our Club to assist with catering. Your help would be greatly appreciated at the following events:
Sunday 7th September
A bbq at Old Gippstown on Sunday 7th September for Father’s Day.
Thursday 11th September
Energy Australia has once again invited us to cook egg and bacon sandwiches for their RU OK? Day breakfast.
This will require 4 volunteers and a 5 am start!!!!  Alan and Ross have volunteered – so another 2 ‘early risers’required!
Saturday 13th September
We are also being considered to assist at the Ellinbank Football League Grand Final being held at the Trafalgar Football Club on Saturday 13th September.  This would be an approx. start of 9 am through to around 4pm.
 
We may look at arranging volunteer shifts for this event. At this stage the Bishops will be on duty for the full day – so will be requiring another 1 or 2 volunteers for each 2 hr shift.
Final details are still being confirmed, and I’ll keep you updated over the next couple of weeks.
