==== SoM Annual Volunteer Family Event, 25th March ====
This year’s Event will be held at Harry Riseborough Oval, Hartung Street Mundaring on Saturday 25th March 2023 commencing at 1700 hours, and is open to all volunteers and their families.

The format will be along similar lines as previous years with the tug-of-war between Brigades, State Emergency Service and all other challengers for the Fire & Emergency Services trophy. At the completion of the games there will be a presentation of Life Membership Awards, followed by the evening meal.

The catering for the event will be handled by WA Spit Roast, who will supply all the meat, salads, bread, desserts, condiments, cutlery and plates. Beer, wine and soft drink will be supplied. Please note there will be no charge.

A Bouncy Castle has been hired and a DJ will be providing the music. For your own comfort, it is suggested to bring along chairs or picnic rugs.

If you and your family would like to attend, please contact [[Secretary@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Vicki]] on 0407 831 315 by Sunday 19th February. Anyone interested in the tug-of-war, please also contact Vicki.
