Brigade Secretary,
Several weeks ago, a letter was sent to brigade’s advising them that the 2010 Rural State Championships would be held in Werribee. The letter asked for brigade members who may be interested in assisting the organizing committee to attend a meeting that was to be held in June. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the venue originally selected has since become unavailable and the meeting was postponed.
The Championships will now be held at the Whittlesea Showgrounds on 27th & 28th March. This venue provides the host committee with the opportunity to showcase the skills of CFA volunteers to the local and surrounding communities affected by the Black Saturday fires. The host committee is working with local, state and federal governments to look at ways to put on a special event for both firefighters and the community.
The host committee is now looking for members of brigades to join them and assist in organizing this event. No experience in rural competitions is necessary, only the ability to work within a team.
The next meeting will be held at Yarrambat Fire Station at 0900 hours on Sunday 16th August. Any enquiries can be made to committee Chairman Darren McQuade on 0409 393 773.
Regards
Jenny Broadhurst
Host Committee
Secretary
