NRM Family Fun Fair
Family Fun Fair was held over 4 days: 20-23 July
We ran the Cafe Car with a limited but workable offering.
 
ABout 500-700 through the gate each day, and our profits were up on Thursday and Friday as the BBQ was to operating.
 
overall we made just over $2,000 in net profit!
 
Well done to all volunteers who assisted over the 4 days.
 
We have now shut down the freezer, and moved all stock to the Storage Shed. We will not be back to the NRM for at least 8 months whilst the new Port Dock Railway station & spur line is constructed.
