Relay for Life is on Feb 27 & 28, and thinking of making up a team.
"Allsortz" would be the title.
We have done this event before and had a great time, camped over and walked through the 24 hour period. It was a great social event also.
Let me know if you are interested in being a part of the team.
there is a $15 entry fee, and we then fundraise. more info will come soon.

This is a worthwhile event. Email to Paul and Brad.
