BDARS BBQ Bonanza – A Sizzling Success (With Extra Thanks to Martin & Eddie!)
A heartfelt thank-you to all the volunteers who helped out at the Bunnings BBQ on July 13th — our second fundraising BBQ for the year.
Events like this wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of Bunnings and the incredible support from our volunteers. Their efforts help keep the club running strong, funding our activities and maintaining our infrastructure. They are vital.
As a small token of appreciation, all volunteers’ names were entered into a draw, and the lucky winner of a Bunnings voucher was Russell VK4DCM — congratulations! A warm welcome also goes out to the new members who stepped up and gave their time to support the club.
We owe a special shout-out to our BBQ champions, Martin and Eddie. These two legends held down all three shifts — from cooking to sales to clean-up — simply because we were a bit short on hands.
So here’s a friendly reminder: if you’re able to help next time (we only run these BBQs about three times a year), we’d love to have you join the crew for just one shift. It’s fun, social, and a small effort that makes a big impact. Plus, where else can you flip sausages while chatting about ham radio?
And if you’re unable to attend but still want to contribute, please consider making a small donation to help boost our fundraising total for the day — every little bit helps support your club.
