Dennise Herrick is organising badges and club shirts Discussion
Aug 6 . Sandakan BBQ and in negotiation with Burwood Council. Commemorate 30th anniversary of the event Burwood Council paid us $10.00 last year for 250 people. Last year was for sandwich and drink, so this year council reduced payment to $7 for 150 people. Maybe we can use it as leverage for Burwood Festival, Considered maybe it is not worthwhile to run with this event Burwood Council are saying take it or leave it as they have other who will do it. We can get community exposure
Pres Hugo will push for decreased fees for Burwood Fair. or more money for the Sandakan BBQ.
