The fire is already on and will be raging so pop in and get "HOOKED" hahhahahahhaha Bren Kez See more

18.01.2022 Great response today to the Real Men Wear Pink fundraiser. Here is Greg Burgoyne with a donation after a whip around the council office. I have also had a number of business houses around town donate stuff for the raffle at the Heywood Hotel tonight. Raised over $1000 so far and am hoping to crack the $1500 mark by tonight. I do apologise to anyone I did not get to today but time is my biggest enemy but don't despair I will still take donations over the weekend and come to your place with the Bullet if you like, just let me know. or you can donate direct at https://realmenwearpink.gofundraise.com.au/page/Castledart Don't forget we are having a Pink Sunday at the Castle this weekend whilst we are having the Open Mike session from 1 pm onwards
