FF:SA Relay for Life 2009

Hey SAFFer Relayers, can I get you lot to PM me your deposits so far please? Just so I can keep tabs on who's banked what! Thanks everyone.

 

Well said DM, and I really appreciate your take on things. There is no I in Team and the Relay is TEAM effort, there is no you and him or her. We all do what we can to help, and that's all that important, exact $$ amounts do not need to be seen, so long as some one is keeping a tally. Lets finish what we started and get things moving now guys.

 

They prefer all deposits to be in the Wednesday before the Relay, which would be the 29th April.

Addiesclone raised her $100, plus more over the last week!! On Friday we went to Woolworths, Foodland and The Old Town Bakery in Old Reynella and asked for their help. About an hour and half later we had $75 worth of Easter Eggs and Easter Bunnies in Cadbury, Lindt and Shortbread dipped in Chocolate!!! So we made up a first, second and third prize and began selling tickets.....easy as. She hit $112 tonight and there is still 24 hours to go, and even she said 'this was so easy Mum!' Drawing it at 8pm tomorrow night, and then we will deliver the prizes to the winners on the weekend. Will take photos and put them here, and give a copy to the Three Wonderful donors!!!

 

Yeah, just a bit of creative thinking! Ok, and alot of leg work by her mother....but she went around at the swim centre and sold tickets to the parents there last Friday night. She's done the 'selling' with a couple of her swim club friends. Shes very happy about her efforts, and so she should be.

 

That looks fantastic DV!. I like it!

Congratulations to Mr Bruce H, Ms Audry M, and Mr Darren S on winning first, second and third prizes in Addiesclones raffle. Mr Bruce S was in Melbourne when I called and was totally thrilled to bits. The others were equally happy. $116 raised all up. Well done!

 

Not yet, see I got a text message Wednesday arvo that there was a meeting in Victor Harbour on Thursday night!!! The night before the Easter break with 30 hours notice.....wasn't going to happen I'm sorry. I did request an email of all the information required to be sent to me, but nothing as yet.

Remember people, keep your deposit receipts, very important!!

 

Unfortunately, due to the separation of the teams it has been decided that the theme wont work as well as we had once thought. So there will be no theme this year, but the Lightsaber from Alf as our baton is still really needed, and the Letter box from Toddi is still really needed!!! So, 17 days to go till Relay guys! My tents ready, and my money is banked.....my t's are crossed and my i's are dotted!

So, can everyone please PM me with their final totals, and make sure you keep your receipts to give to me on the day.

 

Ok, I was unable to attend the Team Meeting on the Thursday night before Easter in Victor Harbour, I was given 24 hours notice via Txt and sadly I had already made plans for that night. I did however ask them to email me all details of the meeting. Sadly I have received nothing as yet, but I will be chasing it all up on Monday. But a few things I do know thanks to reading the 501st/RL team notes are below. MS was able to attend the meeting, so I am reading his notes, and I appreciate the help, but I will be confirming it all when I get an email.

The location of this years Relay is changed, it is no longer at the Victor Harbour Oval, but at the Encounter Bay Football Club oval. Will and Drew had mentioned this earlier in the year, but it hadn't been confirmed at that stage. Apparently the local residents were complaining about the noise made last year. According to Google Map, its past the first oval and off Armstrong Road, a road that comes off the Large roundabout. I will talk to my Aunt in Victor and get her to confirm the address asap. Also, according to MS's notes, the camps are going to be around the outside of the oval this year, and the track in the middle, so our tents will have their 'backs' to the track. Camps are set up on a first come, first pick of the ground basis. There will be well lit toilets and Canteen facilities this year.

Now we have to pray the rain doesn't decide to visit us!!

Thank you to MS for the information, I appreciate being able to see it and am grateful he was able to attend the meeting.


EDIT: Also, if you have a preference for walking, night or day, or early morning, please post here. I will be doing up the walking roster soon, and as we only have 10 on our team, we all have to do 2 hours over whole Relay. So if you would like one early one and one later one or have specific requests, now's the time to speak up

 

Sure, I can fix the walking for you to be first up after the 'survivors' lap if you want.
