Website Update and Thankyou

Just to keep everyone informed on changes to the website, all the pages to your right have been given a makeover and a good page to look at is the list of charity groups that we have directly helped. We have indirectly helped other groups but those charity groups are the ones we have directly raised funds for. Hopefully in the future that page will be filled with charity groups we have helped.

So thankyou to all those members past and present that have contributed to the group.

Invisible Children Movie

Just so everyone knows,

I have just paid and ordered Invisible Children from our good friends in America and the DVD is on its way to little old Perth and we can then organise a screening of the film, preferably with pizza and some sort of charity element :P
