We seek to finalise all sponsors by end February 2016 so that all necessarily promotional material can be developed to include all sponsors. We seek your support to approach business or corporate contacts that you may have and present them the opportunity to sponsor this prestigious community event in the north western suburbs.

Thought for the day
The Dark Side
We all have our dark side - we mostly suppress
When it does emerge - it can cause distress Because some are still primitive - some evolved
If we really want to- It can be controlled
Is it part of our psyche or built in rage Released by an action at an early age
Both female and male - have this inside To protect our off spring - nothing would hide
Nature’s way - for mankind to survive
Roger Leask 10th Jan 2016
