The next National Bottle Show fundraising BBQs are Tuesday 6th and Friday 9th September at the Waurn Ponds Bunnings. More help is always welcome – let us know info@geelongbottleandcollectables.club!
This was a very successful day for the Club. In fact it was our best yet. A big Thank you Alan, Mara, Noel, Erik, Grahame and Paul —extra points to Erik for volunteering on his day off also his speedy service showed the rest of us up a bit –maybe it has something to do with age????
Bunnings were very pleased with us as Grahame (our own home handyman) managed to repair the Annexe we worked out of — it was missing a screw and was starting to pull apart in the wind. Liz at Bunnings was very impressed with the club’s (Grahame’s) initiative. Thanks also to Grahame for getting the extra sausages when we ran out— approx. 33kg was a record for us!
GROSS RECEIPTS $1108.90
EXPENSES $ 271.15
PROFIT $ 837.75
With 4 more BUNNINGS BBQ dates to go we can look forward to approximately another $ 2500 – $3000 towards the National Bottle Show.
The big challenge is for us to back up again next Tuesday. There are still some gaps in the following dates after Tuesday, if you can help or you know someone who can please let me know – info@geelongbottleandcollectables.club
A very brief report on todays BBQ. Results were again very satisfactory we think that this yet again shows that the weekdays (even Tuesdays) are worthwhile for our club
The financials were as follows
TOTAL SALES $942.45
EXPENSES $248.00
PROFIT $694.45
This profit was obtained with sales of approx. 30 kg of sausages 22 Loaves of bread and 10kg of onions. Trade throughout the day was very steady with very little respite from about 11.45 onwards.
Thanks are due again to Alan, Noel ,Mara ,David, Grahame and Paul
Our new cash box did make giving out change a little easier (this was a donation to the club from Pat B who worked on the BBQ last week). The new eskies were ”mickey mouse” —thanks to Cam and Alan for finding them on special at “RAYS” They should get much use from the club in the warmer months and also at the National Bottle Show. We are now pretty well set up for running the BBQ’s.
There were a number of enquiries about the National Bottle Show and the handouts that Cam and David provided were used to good effect.
Thanks to everyone yet again
Alan and Paul.
