Annual Dinner/Lunch Update
Whilst the Annual Dinner/Lunch had been set for the 12th of October, it has become evident that a number of events clash with this date. These include the Practical Crew Leader training course, Captain's Briefing, and Shire Captain's Dinner. The Committee of Management are investigating alternative dates for the lunch and this will be communicated as soon as possible.
Fuel Card
Once again the State Government have provided Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades with fuel card for use by members. This card can be used by Brigade members to refuel their personal vehicles, and is a way for the government to show its appreciation for the hard work which volunteers contribute to the community.
The card can be found on the sign-in desk at the station. Please ensure that everyone is given an opportunity to receive some value from this initiative.
