Mt Helena Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade have again extended an invitation for other brigades to compete against them in the (now annual!) Hills Billy Cart Festival. Last year Mt Helena and Darlington Brigades entered carts, and it is hoped that more brigades participate this year. There is hope that this may develop into an annually awarded trophy, similar to the Tug-o-War.

Brigades have also been invited to participate in the event's emergency management team.

Anyone interested in participating in either aspect of the festival should contact Adrian.

The festival will be held on Sunday the 27th of October.

This year we had six members attend the Annual Street Appeal around Forrest Chase, totally 27 hours of collecting. Overall the appeal collected $33,017, with 138 collectors from 22 brigades.

Thanks to Dave W., John L., Michelle, Phil, Vicki, and Warren for giving up their Friday to attend and shake a tin for our Brigade.
