Hotshots volunteers have been busily raising funds in the last few months to assist with Gunnedah’s hosting of the 2015 Firefighter Championships.
In testament to our local firies skill is the team’s top-10 finish at the championships held at Swansea on the weekend.
There they recorded a third overall in the urban pump, ladder and collector event as well as fourth in the rescue event to place ninth overall from 11 events.
The Gunnedah firefighting team was also awarded the Best and Fairest for the weekend.
Closer to home, our Hotshots have been doing their best to help raise funds through raffle ticket sales, pie drives and the like, for next year’s championships.
Their fundraising efforts will come to a head at Saturday’s grand final night held at the Gunnedah Services and Bowling Club.
There the dozen Hotshots, who represent many sectors of the community, will don the theme of another occupation, character or even animal for the evening – complete with a red carpet fashion catwalk.
Local plumber and firefighter Ben Wilkinson has been among the best of the fundraising competitors so far, having raised thousands through pies and weekend meat raffles.
But coming home with a wet sail is Damien Wood who recently took the lead in the fundrasing stakes.
Tickets for Saturday’s dinner cost $30 and include a two-course meal, full entertainment and a barrel of laughs.
Guests will also have the opportunity to bid on a number of quality auction items and sporting memorabilia.
Those who book a table of 10 and pay in full will go into the draw for a prize to be awarded on the night.
Local businesses or individuals who pledge $100 or more will also go into the draw to win $1000 worth of advertising courtesy of local radio station, 2MO Gunnedah. Donations can be made at the 2MO office located at 3 Rodney Street, Gunnedah.
Be quick to secure your seat at the dinner showcase because tickets will not be available for purchase on the night.
