And the winner is!

A favourite way of raising funds in Australia is the meat tray. It's so common that you don't even need to explain where the funds are going, just the comment "want tickets in the meat tray?"

Generally most people will dig in their pockets for a dollar or two, whether they care if they will win or not.





I've really been impressed over the years at the willingness of Australians to support fundraising. Of course the idea of gambling is the prime attracter.

Today, Dave put down a few dollars, and we came away with a meat tray. The last time I won one of these was 6 years ago! Guess my luck isn't as good as it used to be. However, this one was all Dave.

Hooray for us!
