SNS '26 Appreciation Post 3/3 - Our Volunteers
Last but not least, our hard working and generous volunteers. There's too many to name everyone individually, but a special thanks goes to the Jodie and Anthony Mifsud (how good was the lasagne?), Tyler Brown for the fires and beef rolls, our security for the night Andrew and Astrid (pictured), John Riley and Gemfields Rural Fire Brigade for assisting with the fireworks, and finally, a very long list of Progress Assoc volunteers in the Bar, Canteen and on the ground, setting up banners, barricades, cleaning and attending to the bins and toilets on the night, we couldnt do it without you all!
