15.01.2022 We’ve decided to make Corey Legge and Sam Fletcher’s Courtyard Session on Saturday 25th January an RFS Fundraiser with all profits going to the Bodalla Rural Fire Brigade. Online tickets are available or simply call the Cafe on (02) 4473 5583 to make a reservation. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/bodalla-rfs-fundraiser-the-... The Bodalla RFS continues to protect and support the local community of Bodalla and surrounding areas. While thankfully Bodalla township was saved, sadly with the destruction of the bushfires many outlining communities have not been so lucky. We have seen many folks who have suffered the loss of everything, a lifetime of work and memories, and tragically for some the loss of loved ones, for whom our community grieves. Our hearts greatest desire in these difficult times is to help support those local communities that have lost so much, with at least $20.00 from every ticket sold going directly to the Bodalla RFS to aid those most in need. We will also have a donation bucket on the night for those who are generous enough to give more as well as for those who have also fallen on hard times themselves who wish to be a part of the evening, but find the ticket price beyond their means at the moment. Everyone is welcome! We would like to thank all those who have donated already, your kindness has been incredible, making a huge positive impact not only financially but emotionally. We also thank our RFS, these people have been pillars of our community, and we appreciate the selfless legacy they leave for us all to strive for. And a big thanks to Corey Legge and Sam Fletcher for generously donating their time to make sure we can donate as much as possible. Thanks also to J&S Design for donating design and advertising for this event. Bodalla RFS Fundraiser with Corey Legge and Sam Fletcher

14.01.2022 Sadly we have to cancel our Bodalla RFS Fundraiser. We were hopeful Bodalla would be safe today so that we could raise some funds to directly pass to the local ...RFS who are providing outstanding support to our community. We can’t thank them enough for the amazing work they are doing. Tragically we have found out a life was lost at Bumbo behind Bodalla on Thursday. This is another terrible loss for our community and our deepest condolences go to the family. We hope that in the coming days the weather is kind and the local RFS crews are able to make some progress with containing the fires currently around Bodalla and beyond. In lieu of being able to run our fundraiser, we have setup a GoFundMe to try and raise the funds we would have been able to contribute after our fundraising night. Please donate and all funds will be passed directly to the Bodalla RFS to distribute how they see best. Thanks to everyone for their support.

13.01.2022 Due to travel concerns around the fires, we've decided to postpone Corey Legge and Sam Fletcher's Courtyard Session until Saturday 25th January. Sorry for any inconvenience and we look forward to seeing you at the rescheduled event. Courtyard Sessions Featuring Corey Legge and Sam Fletcher

12.01.2022 Fresh local produce by the @theplotbodalla available @downwarddogco #fresh #flowers #cutflowers #localproduce #shoplocal #canberratothecoast #canberraeats #eurobodalla #eatwell #mytown #preserves #lovethebaybb #loveflowers

11.01.2022 Our next Courtyard Session will feature Pete Wild supported by local talent Sam Fletcher on Saturday 21st September. If you would like to book a table for dinner feel free to send us a message or call the Cafe on (02) 4473 5583. Pete Wild is an award winning musician based in Candelo NSW. He is currently touring his freshly pressed album Calm, an indie-folk-pop roller-coaster ride that lurches from heartfelt comedy to deep melancholy. Pete will be supported by local talent S...am Fletcher, who plays indie folk and classic rock with a laid-back thoughtful air. #downwarddogco #courtyardsessions

11.01.2022 Wow! Thanks so much everyone. We've reached our $2,000 fundraising target for the Bodalla area RFS in under 48 hours! We are immensely grateful for the overwhelming support. We're so happy knowing that this money will go directly to the local RFS who are going above and beyond to help our community. We'll leave donations open for a few more days and see if we can raise a little more... please keep donating if you can, there's a great need and we can't really raise enough at t...his stage, every contribution counts! This GoFundMe came about after we had to cancel our January 25th Fundraiser Courtyard Session with Corey Legge and Sam Fletcher. Everyone involved had volunteered their time and put a lot of effort into making the fundraiser possible. It was a major disappointment when we had to cancel the event after another bad day of fires in the area on Thursday 23rd January. Bodalla and surrounding communities, particularly those lesser known in the bushland behind Bodalla, such as Nerrigundah and Bumbo, have been significantly impacted by fires since NYE. These communities have suffered the destruction of many properties and tragically two lives have been lost. We cannot thank our local fire brigades enough for the incredible work they have been doing to minimise the impact of these fires and protect our communities. We will continue to do as much as we can to help.

11.01.2022 Coming up on Saturday 30th November, California born, Geringong based Blues and Roots Singer/Songwriter Dane Overton and the Joy Williams Band (solo) will be coming to the Courtyard Sessions! Supported by local indie/folk-rock talent Sam Fletcher. Dane Overton recently supported Phil Jamison of iconic Australian rock act Grinspoon and also Kim Churchill, as well as touring nationally and internationally in his own right. He has forged a name for himself with his hearty blend ...of blues and roots music that burns in the soul; songs that bleed with the soulful yawl of Tom Waits, the honesty and conviction of Son House and the Delta Blues and the joy and warmth of The John Butler Trio. Send us a message or call the café on (02) 4473 5583 for bookings. #downwarddogco #courtyardsessions #daneoverton

We will be making sure every cent of this money is given directly to the Bodalla Rural Fire Brigade who we have absolute trust will know how to use it best to help Bodalla and surrounding communities of Nerrigundah, Tinpot, Bumbo, Potato Point and others. Please support us to reach our goal of $2,000+ raised for the Bodall...a RFS. This GoFundMe came about after we had to cancel our January 25th Fundraiser Courtyard Session with Corey Legge and Sam Fletcher. Everyone involved had volunteered their time and put a lot of effort into making the fundraiser possible.

06.01.2022 Bodalla RFS Fundraiser update, $6,500 raised! We are in the process of withdrawing these funds and preparing to distribute them with the help and advice of the Bodalla Rural Fire Brigade. Our greater Bodalla community is made up of a number of smaller communities, including Nerrigundah, Belowra, Eurobodalla, Cadgee, Bumbo, Tin Pot, Potato Point, Reedy Creek, Horse Island and Waincourt. These communities were hit hard by the bushfires starting on New Year’s Eve, when many had ...to run for their lives. We tragically lost three lives, and a number of homes were totally destroyed over January this year. The Downward Dog had organised a fundraiser event to support our community and our local RFS, with the help of local musicians Corey Legge + Sam Fletcher and our promotion team J&S Design. We were fully booked and ready to go, but after much time, effort and money was spent to hold our fundraiser for the RFS, unfortunately the evening had to be cancelled as we were once again advised to evacuate due to fire activity. As we cancelled the fundraiser it became obvious that the fires and the unending uncertainty were having an emotional toll, not only on our staff, but on all those who had been working on the fundraiser. It was then that J&S Design came up with the idea to try a GoFundMe. This action alone had a positive effect by allowing the fundraising efforts to go ahead, but it was the overwhelming support received that let us know that we were not alone and there were so many wonderful people willing to make a positive difference. We were surprised and grateful at the amount funds that were raised, so appreciative of the generosity from our donors and we are thrilled that we can now help those of our community hit hardest. It is planned that the funds will go directly to those in our surrounding areas that were most impacted. We have discussed this with our local RFS representatives and we have all agreed that the money will be divided equally and paid out directly to those who have lost everything. It was concluded as the best way to suit the individual and their individual needs, for example, one family requires to buy new school shoes and books for their children, their neighbour needs to cover the cost of their medication, while another needs to pay a phone bill in order to keep their business running etc. Giving them the funds directly and allowing self determination is the most effective way to give immediate aid to those who need it most. We are collating the information with Bodalla RFS as to which homes were lost, to ensure that no one is missed, and more info will soon be available on our GoFundMe page for those who will require it. Watch this space in the future,The Downward Dog Co. Cafe hopes to provide updates on about how our community rebuilds and how your donations aided in that recovery.
