That Day In September… a day to remember!
Peta and I were truly fortunate to be 2 of the 61,118 at the Grand Final on Sat night!
 
Even better to be in the Demons quarter, and see them win their first flag in 57 years! 
 
For Peta, an ardent and long suffering Demons lover, ‘twas a dream come true… and to be hosted in our own home town! Got me thinking… we here in the West are so very lucky.
 
This Optus Stadium is a magnificent built for purpose arena in every way possible. Easy access in and out, great seating, all creature needs so handy with great food and beverage service! And, when the sun goes down, the lighting is spectacular.
 
Public transport to and fro was free and absolutely hassle free… couldn’t believe how easy and prompt, especially with the 60,000 heading home together after the game.
 
A truly fantastic event in anyone’s terms.
 
And a bit sad for Advocate Editor Ray, who looked very much a doghouse inhabiter by the end of the night! (Bulldog house, that is!)
 

Next Thursdays Sundowner in The Village.
 
Can we please have a good AxR attendance for the 2021 JacFest promo evening for local businesses in MP Kim Giddens Ardross St Office on Thurs from 5.15 til 6.15.pm, and a little later for AxR.
 
Our Lottery West Grant will be presented, Pete Stone from the CoM (and possibly our Mayor ) will attend, and we will let the Village businesses into the plans for the 21st Annual JacFest.
 
All about good community relations….
 
Normal ‘bring a plate’ rules to apply, drinks provided with our regular charge, and Kim Giddens Office will also support.
 
ONLY 8 WEEKS TO GO to our next special day!!!
