🌟 A Huge Thank You to Black Range Silhouettes 🌟

The VYUFDA would like to give a massive shout‑out and heartfelt thank you to Jacky from Black Range Silhouettes for her incredible support in replacing our perpetual trophies, along with the four (4) personal Victorian Championship trophies held by Aoidh that were lost in the 2026 Longwood bushfire.

Jacky has gone above and beyond for our Association, and we are truly grateful for her generosity, craftsmanship, and ongoing support as a trusted local vendor.

We cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend Black Range Silhouettes to anyone looking for quality work and genuine service.

Thank you, Jacky — your support means the world to our community.
