BDARS BBQ Bonanza – Another Sizzling Success (With Extra Thanks to Martin & Eddie!)
A heartfelt thank-you to all the volunteers who helped out at the Bunnings BBQ yesterday – our third 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.
The roll of honor for giving back to the club by their willing participation goes to our familiar team:-
Michael VK4GOR, John VK4JBE, John Paul VK4JPW, Graham VK4GRK, Noel VK4NAF and Shirley, Ross VK4SRS, Darrel VK4HDC and Elise, Russel VK4DCM and of course President Martin VK4MCU and Eddie VK4TJE who were working for all three shifts!
As a small token of appreciation, all volunteers’ names will be entered into a draw, and the lucky winner will receive a Bunnings voucher.
Despite our sincere pleas for volunteers, we didn’t quite manage to fill every position on the day. Nevertheless, in true BDARS tradition, the small but determined team rallied together, held up the side, and got the job done.
So here again is a gentle nudge (with a sausage in one hand): our BBQs only happen about three times a year, and if a few more members volunteered for just one shift each, everyone would get a chance to enjoy the day without earning “Employee of the Month” honours. It’s a fun, social few hours, you get to meet fellow members, and where else can you discuss antennas, DX contacts, and the correct way to cook onions while flipping sausages?
However, if you couldn’t make it on the day (and we realise that for some members this would be impossible / impractical), you may like to consider helping the fundraising effort by way of a small direct donation towards that fundraiser day. It would be warmly appreciated. Every dollar helps support the club!
