The timing was perfect! The Police Pipe Band and Show Band could not have timed things better! A polished performance, with slick tunes, and slick (or is that sick) jokes ensured that the Bellarine Police Community Support Register would be provided with much needed funding just in the nick (no pun) of time! Ongoing funding has been a critical issue for this fast growing and much needed Register.
The concert raised $4,814.86! This was beyond expectations!
Such was the atmosphere among the 300 plus concert-goers that there was much laughter and a great feeling of community spirit. The bands were very entertaining, with something for everyone, from Scotland The Brave to Pretty Woman. The comperes entertained as well, with lively banter and jokes. Gwenda and her helpers provided a lovely afternoon tea, voluneers were calmly ensuring that everyone was well provided for, looking very smart in their Register vests. Gary thanked everyone for coming and the buses moved off into the late afternoon sunshine, ferrying their passengers through fields sprouting green after a little autumn rain.
