FineLine Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I posted this in our qld section, What are the chances of all states doing something similar on the same day. A coordinated multi state effort should see some good results for the poor buggas. In light of the horror unfolding in victoria as I type I am proposing cruise to raise funds to help the poor buggas left behind to deal with the fallout. The western whale watchers cruise will take place on sunday the 22nd of feb. Staging point will be at woolly's/macca's carpark at yamanto, departure time will be 8.30 sharp. Cruise duration will be advertised when I get some feed back as to how long you guys wish to drive for. There will be a food vendor at the cruise destination and i will be hitting him up for a dontation of some of his profit garnered by our presence. Cruise donation of 10 dollars per car will be the price and if any members have contacts a couple of worthwhile raffle prizes wouldnt go astray. any further donations will be gratefull accepted. Funds will go to the red cross bushfire appeal. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256162-bushfire-appeal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

2rismo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 We've thrown this together at work and it's happening fairly rapidly if anyone is in the area at the time or feels like making the effort: This Wednesday night (FEB 11th), we are holding a cruise night to gain necessary items for the victims of the recent fires in Victoria. MEET AT: Front car park at Shellharbour Workers Club between 6pm and 6.30pm. BRING: Any not wanted clothes, childrens toys, blankets, pillows etc. CRUISE TO: Bunnings / McDonalds at Warrawong. Marty & Erica from I98 FM are organising a truck to take goods from the people of the Illawarra to those in need. Please help us to help them!

We've thrown it open to the wider car community up here Dave and the response has been amazing. This could be bigger than Ben Hur.

FloydWestwood Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 the only downside is that big cruises attract dickheads and apparently the need to chuck hektic fully burnouts which attracts police. not good. it would be good to think that everyone could behave in the name of such a worthy cause...

2rismo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Our impromptu cruise managed to fill the back of a truck. It's small but I guess it'll help. Got about 20-25 cars and everyone brought something. Darren and Kym from Compact Car Rentals in the Gong donated their time and one of their trucks Loading the truck at the cruise starting point, Shellharbour Workers Club Part way through loading truck at cruise destination - Warrawong Maccas LS1 powered Commodore - sounded tough The nugget A nice HQ stroker Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256162-bushfire-appeal/#findComment-4421579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
