Bill Granger advised recently that our first opportunity to get together with and show our moral support for the fire affected people of East Gippsland may have arrived.
On Saturday, 15 February a family fun day will be held at the burnt out Buchan racecourse. Buchan is a lovely little town of a couple of hundred people, where one man died fighting the fires. It is 355 kms from Melbourne.Several homes were lost. Overnight accommodation is available.
Ted and Bill will follow up with more detail next week. How great would it be if we could pay the people of East Gippsland the complement of having six or seven car loads of us visit them for the day, and stay for one or two nights. Please pencil it in your diary if you are able.
