Shitbox Rally update
Shitbox Rally Team "Off THE Clock" had a great day on Saturday at the North West Auto Fest. Team member Dan Etheridge and wife Rachel and children Kaleb, Baylen and Macey were busy selling tickets and taking donations. Thank you so much to the community for their support on the day and we look forward to seeing lots of faces at the team's first fundraiser event on Saturday 5th November - a charity motorbike ride followed by an afternoon of entertainment at the Commercial Hotel Barraba.
The motorbike ride has two groups heading out from 8am on their motorbike ride. The dirt bike / adventure bike group will head out to Horton Falls and then onto the Upper Horton Sports Club for morning tea where the road bike / cruiser bikes will meet them after their morning tour. The two groups will then head to town to the Commercial Hotel for lunch and refreshments. Rider tickets are $75 and include morning tea, lunch and a drink on arrival at the Commercial Hotel. For more info and to book your rider ticket please see Phil & Ally at Phil Denyer Mechanical Repairs or phone 67 821 107.
Lunch at the Commercial Hotel will be from 12 and there will be live music from Inverell lads Adam Mills & Nic Baker. Adam has an awesome metal sound and Nic has a smooth country voice - between them they will have the atmosphere set well into the evening. Adam & Nic have yet to play at Barraba and are looking forward to a great gig and staying the night.
Our major raffle (1st BabyQ1000 Webber, 2nd Husqvarna Wipper Snipper - 3rd Carlton Dry Esky) has been running for a few weeks and has proven very popular and will be drawn on the day. There are also $1 table raffles - there are dozens of prizes that have been donated from businesses and individuals that will be all set out on a table and as the many winning ticket numbers are drawn the winners can come to the table and pick what they would like. Prizes on the table range from a Google Nest Hub to a Leatherman - there is something for everyone on there!
We would like to thank the community for their support so far. Barraba, Manilla and Tamworth have all been so supportive. Donation tins, raffle tickets, sponsorship and general donations have all rocketed the team to be among the leaders for the Shitbox Rally for Autumn 2023 so far and the continued support of future events, like the Charity Ride Day, and liking and sharing our Facebook posts are aiding the team in raising a substantial amount for the Cancer Council.
From Dan & Phil
