Well, the time has come.
Rae and I have decided that after many years of being selfish we would like to do something to help out some of the Balinese kids that are in dire need.
One of the best ways we can see to do that is hold a Fundraiser at our home for the Southern Cross Bali Association.
We have met all of these guys a number of times, Bapak_Ken, Ibu Chris, Smudge_UK, Roo_Ted, Jean (Komodo Dragon) and Scully (Linda) and have found that they are all very dedicated and wonderful people well worthy of our support.
They are some of the many unsung heroes that go quietly about their efforts without too much fanfare and simply get the job done.
We want to help them with that job in some small way.
They deserve it.
The kids certainly deserve it.
We just need your help...you know...just a smidgeon;-)
So here's the plan.
1st of April 2006 at about 1pm drag your backsides down to Mandurah and spend the afternoon and evening at ‘Crackers Bar and Grill'.
The cost will be $15 a head for adults and $5 per kid, all to go to the S.C.B.A. charity.
For that you'll get a great party and be part of helping out some kids in need.
You'll need to bring your own BBQ meat and drinks.
We'll provide all the salads, quite a few Indonesian dishes to compliment your BBQ stuff, the odd cook or two, a security service for street parked vehicles, a waitress or three, a bloody great live band for the late afternoon/evening, Raffles and Auctions with the odd Bali based prize involved and I'll even kiss all the sheilas on arrival.
The blokes can get stuffed ;-)
Now...for those from Perth that think it's too far, I have room for about 15 caravans and a couple of dozen tents, so make your booking early ;-)
We can also help locate some great accommodation in the area if you desire.
The whole point of this is to help the kids, so having a great day will just be a bonus.
I'm going to attempt a few other surprises, which I may or may not tell you about.
If you are going to come, how about bringing a few mates that aren't on the Forum but still go to Bali.
It may give them a whole new perspective.
To get tickets please email Rae and myself at raveoncracker@aapt.net.au and give us a few days to get back to you as it may get busy.
We'll then send you more info on our address and who to send ticket money to, as the time gets closer.
Look forward to seeing you here in Mandurah ;-)

Cracker and Rae ;-)
