The ladies all looked fabulous in their hot pink tradie gear, which certainly made an impact!
This is the eighth Annual trip Alison Guilford has organised, but with with more ladies wanting to attend, shes needed Sharon Bailey to help Organising the Event.
This year it was bigger and better than ever before. It’s not only an excuse to dress up, have a few laughs and enjoy some good wine … it’s also a chance to raise money for some of our local charities.
A huge thank you goes to all these lovely ladies as this year they raised $2360 with $1000 going to Can Assist, $680 going to Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS) and $680 to SteppinOut4Youth which has been very much appreciated by all received.
Thank you also goes to Eleanor Fondacaro, Marie Eurell at Hair Odessy Sizza Hair Studio and Gosh Beauty Therapy for your donated prizes for the raffle.
1st Prize was won by Katie Bailey, 2nd prize was Melissa Lyons, 3rd prize was Neisha Shelton and 4th prize was Olivia Symes.
Lastly a huge thank you to Richard and Melissa Lyons for the use of the Lyons Bus, and our very Tolerate driver Richard!
Stay tuned for next year’s themed event!
Ally Guilford and the girls, Leeton.
Biosecurity is important to all of us
Minimising and ultimately preventing risks from animal and plant pests, diseases, weeds and contaminants s crucial to the health and well being of our economy, environment and communities.
To help us more effectively manage biosecurity risks in NSW, we have a new NSW Biosecurity Act commencing on 1 July 2017.
A key principle of the Act is that biosecurity is a shared responsibility involving government, industry and community.
Whether you live in a regional area or a large city, have a small farm or backyard garden, participate in bushwalking, or enjoy recreational fishing, everyone can play a part in managing our biosecurity.
The new framework provides greater flexibility in managing risks, including new powers to allow faster response times in an emergency, such as during a disease outbreak.
The Department of Primary Industries is hosting a series of information meetings with key stakeholders across the State to explain the impact of the changes.
You can find an online training program and advisory material at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/biosecurity.
The NSW Government is committed to safeguarding our $14 billion primary industries sector, protecting our environment and ensuring our state’s reputation for safe, disease-free food and fibre remains the best in the world.
