Administration
Mt Helena Billy Cart Festival
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.
Chad and Danika have expressed an interest in forming a team, and this could be a fun exercise for the brigade to participate in.
The festival will be held on Sunday the 27th of October.
