23.01.2022 What a great day to promote GoFenceMe. Whilst the paddocks are very green and the sky is clear and blue you can still see the black trees that remind us of the fires that were not very long ago. GoFenceMe was pleased to be able to assist local farmer Simon Bateman, who is also the Numbugga fire captain and has given 30 years to the local fire service. He was off fighting fires while his own property was burning. GoFenceMe is a charity designed to assist farmers access sub...sidisation for fencing materials along with the provision of advice on materials and processes. Simon told the GoFenceMe committee that he will now be able to put cattle on this block that now has plenty of feed. For GoFenceMe to make a difference we need more funding. We have vigorous processes in place to ensure the subsidised materials are given equitably and to those in need. Please dont forget our fire impacted farmers.

12.01.2022 BSB 633000 A/C 172557944 GoFenceMe has been advised that BlazeAid are interested in coming to Bemboka if there is a need and they could be here and set up in about 6 weeks. Although their workers have already completed a two week quarantine period for their current place of work they would again be required to undergo another two week quarantine period when they arrive in Bemboka. A team of approximately 20 would include backpackers. Small teams of about four would usually wo...rk on each property and they would observe social distancing. BlazeAid might be able share 50/50 the cost of fencing strainers with property owners but all other fencing materials would need to be provided by the property owner. Their camp would most likely be at Bemboka Showgrounds. Although the property would not be required to provide meals, a contribution to morning or afternoon tea would be appreciated eg. a packet of biscuits. At this stage, we need to gauge the total kms of fencing required for Bemboka so if you are interested please reply in COMMENTS below with your NAME, ADDRESS and KMS of fencing to be installed and PHONE or EMAIL contact. Please note that you will need to supply your fencing materials. If BlazeAid confirm there is a need for them in Bemboka then GoFenceMe will attempt to find a local person to co-ordinate with BlazeAid and BVSC. GoFenceMe recently distributed fencing materials from its available funds and does not anticipate another round of distribution in the near future as we have recently submitted several grant applications and anticipate a slow process. Please provide information by 5pm Friday 8 May so that this information can be collated and forwarded to BlazeAid and BVSC. See more
