A lovely evening was had by all, when Baysiders, partners and friends travelled to Rotarian Brian Burch’s home in Bellbrae last Tuesday.

A scrumptious BBQ was enjoyed by all which was followed by yummy desserts supplied by the ladies of the club.

There was little interest in playing cricket after the meal, so we moved onto the Blind Auction, where a number of people had brought along wrapped gifts from Christmas.

Lively bidding ensued with auctioneer Brian struggling to control the bidding frenzy.

A healthy $200+ was raised from the auction. Thank you to all who so generously donated items and to those who bravely bought items, sight unseen.

The funds raised will go towards the club’s annual donation to the Freshwater Creek Fire Brigade.

We also welcomed a prospective past member, Judy. It was great to meet you and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Many thanks to Brian for hosting the evening and to John V. And John S. for organising the BBQ.
