Other Notes
Fundraising
As we are a not-for-profit club, during the
year we run some fundraising activities such
as Cadbury chocolate sales and Bunnings
barbecues. The money raised is used to
purchase rods and clubs, material for
costumes, props, and many other things for
competitions and the concert.
A fundraising coordinator is elected each
year at the AGM, and we are always looking
for new ideas and volunteers to assist with
fundraising activities.
