Thank you to all of you have responded to the invitation to the Brigade Annual Lunch to be held at The Wild Goose on Saturday 12th October commencing at 11.30am.

For those of you who haven't responded, it would be appreciated if you could let Jen know by Thursday as to your attendance or not and your menu selection if attending.

For those members who cannot attend, your families are very welcome to attend. Please advise Jen of numbers and meal selection.

We have one book of 10 tickets still available if anyone would be able to sell them. All proceeds from the Raffle remain with the Brigade. This is a very easy fundraiser so if you can assist it would be appreciated.

Raffle ticket books need to be back to Jen by Saturday 19th October.

The Mt Helena Billy Cart Festival is coming up at the end of the month. Sawyers Valley has offered to assist Mt Helena with the emergency management of the event, and we are still seeking volunteers to assist. If you are interested and available, please contact Adrian.
