The Monthly Dinner – 12th November 2019 – Guest Speaker

The Next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 12th November at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Our guest on the night will be Allan Sparkes CV, OAM, VA FRSN, who is one of only 5 Australians in the past 44 years to be awarded the Cross of Valour (CV), Australia's highest bravery decoration. Allan will speak about "What is the rarely recognised element of courage and why is it so important today?" Is courage about overcoming fear? willingness to risk your all, an inner strength? perhaps it is about choice, leaving a place of safety to go to a place of danger? But how often do we consider courage is about the willingness to care. In his talk Al Sparkes will touch on the times he has had to be courageous to help others and the times he stopped caring about himself. And what he did to recover his life from the pits of hell.

Please book early for this event as it is sure to be popular. The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each. Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential.

Our own fire chief Kenny asked me to get the following on the blog please. He advised that Tuesday’s conditions are extremely dangerous -

There are still more than 60 bush fires burning across the state. All fires are now at Advice and Watch and Act.

Stay updated with the Fires Near Me smartphone app or online.

Check with your friends and relatives in rural areas that they have a plan, that if they are advised to evacuate by emergency services, that they get out immediately.
