13.01.2022 The @Nick Balcombe Foundation 'Money Man' (IE Treasurer) @Finn Dorny is a man that not only loves the Nick Balcombe Foundation, but also cycling to extreme limits. Whilst being stuck in COVID-times he cannot get out and about and compete in his usual sufferings (triathlons etc), so he has decided to undertake a gruelling "sufferfest" of challenge - the Toughest Indoor Cycling Challenge in the World, the Knights of Sufferlandria. Over ten hours of pure suffering! Finn is rais...ing money for the Nick Balcombe Foundation and Movember - two causes dear to him. Legend! Give him a shout out! https://www.givenow.com.au//p/sufferfestknighthoodattempt

10.01.2022 HEY! It is that time of the year again where we GET HAIRY! Join us in supporting Tasmanian’s musicians and mens health by growing a beard for the month of August! Ladies, you can join us too - give up wine or chocolate for a month? Money raised will help keep the Nick Balcombe Foundation alive - we will also direct 40% of the funds to the Movember Foundation Australia, as this was something Nick was very passionate about ... You can either: 1. Become a CrowdRaiser by heading to www.givenow.com.au/gethairy and clicking on the blue "Create CrowdRaiser" button. Then simply throw away your razor for the month of August, grow a beard, and send people to your GiveNow CrowdRaiser page to donate. If you are unable to grow a beard, you can still become a CrowdRaiser, all you need to do is ditch something that you love (like chocolate) for the month. Or, get creative and take a cold dip every day. Get creative and bring some friends along for the ride! or 2. Donate directly to the cause via www.givenow.com.au/gethairy or to someone you know who is growing a beard. Cheers as always, we appreciate your support!

09.01.2022 Our hearts go out to the friends and family of the wonderful Hugh Burridge.

A socialite who will be very deeply missed within the Hobart community, may your spirit live on through us, your friends and family. Vale, Hugh Burridge, lost too soon.
