The Annual Volunteer Bushfire Brigade Street Appeal is on Friday the 17th of May. This has been a fantastic fund-raising activity for the brigade, and a great way of meeting volunteers from other brigades across the Bush Fire Service. Organisers will be signing up attendees on the day, however an indication of numbers will assist with logistics and planning.

The appeal will run from 07:00 until 18:00, and is centred around the Hay Street and Murray Street Malls.

The more members we have attending the street appeal, the greater our share of the takings will be. Interested members should RSVP to Michelle.
