What a Night

 

There are so many people we need to thank & we're worried that we will forget some but let me mention a couple amongst many:

 

Craig Davidson - you are the only MC I know who can create a frenzy at a silent auction and have it all end without finding bodies flat on the floor. Sounded more like the calling of the Melbourne Cup but certainly did the trick. Brilliant job throughout the night my dear - we are all so appreciative of your energy both on & off the dance floor throughout the evening.

 

A special thank you to Denise Gore & her big group of food helpers for surviving with 1 oven and then none - don't think anybody starved.

 

Warren Gore jumped on board immediately when we mentioned this event & offered to 'put the band back together' - many asked if they were for hire they were that good.Dane, Daniel, Elli, Jack & Casey for working the bar.....& did they work it. Great job throughout the whole night.

 

Cat MacDonald, Kellie Taylor & Anne Cousens - thank you for taking charge of the payments at the end of the night. It was incredibly well organised by the 3 of you after my having said "here's the machine - go collect." Sorry

 

To our helpers who assisted with setting up the silent auction & the room, manning the welcome table, selling raffle tickets (honestly who could resist Miss Madison Gill's selling charm), collecting bottles, cans & glasses from around the room, checking on the silent auction throughout the night, etc, etc - a massive thank you.

 

Many thanks to the management committee/s of the sporting club for allowing us to hold the event within our community.To everyone who purchased tickets, donated food, auction items, coffee, milk & coffee cups, donated cash & has supported Sue, Gerard, Max & Zac - we thank you most sincerely.

 

Belinda Martin, your IT skills in setting up the website, ticketing process & online auction have helped make this a massive success. We did ok!!

 

And to Sue, Gerard, Max & Zac, thank you for allowing us to do this for you. It has been an overwhelming pleasure for all concerned xxxx
