Operation: Cadbury Fundraiser
The freddo frogs have arrived, hoorah!
What:
There are twelve boxes worth of cadbury goods to be sold but there's
8 carrier boxes the non-freddo goods (i.e. timeouts, cherry ripes
nougat logs and summer rolls) have been added to each carrier box.
That means there's around 1 box for each family. I think it's best that we only sell one box
each to begin with to see how long it takes for them to sell as - other than the fact that
we are all very busy - I've spoken to some people already in the business who say that
they're selling at a steady but not-as-fast-as-they-could-or-should-be rate.
Prices:
The unit selling price is $1.20 (including time outs, crunchies, cherry ripes etc.). Inside each
carrier box is an envelope for the money made and details for you to fill out. Once you've sold
as many as you can within the next 28 days then that envelope is to be sealed and returned to
me along with the freddoes that didn't make it. :(
Implications of this operation for the Crew:
We're expected to make around $360.00 from this drive which really shouldn't be that hard to do.
Once Cadbury have been paid their $360 we can bank ours and use $240 to return Owen's money
which leaves us with $100.
If this is a successful operation and people are still keen to fund raise this way then we shall do it again
and sell more boxes. But i'll see the full details for the maximum you can sell with Cadbury and how
often you can do it.
Tips For Selling:
The site has some good tips for selling them http://www.fundraising.com.au
One idea is to give the box to you're parents who can sell it at work (which is what i plan to do) and
they seem to sell quite well there. But i'm sure most of you have a good idea of what do, if not have
already done it before.
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
Cadbury need to be paid 28 days after today so i'll need the money back before than as
well as a tally of the freddoes and other goods you sold but i'll know what you originally had in your boxes anyway.
(Obviously this is important as the boxes have to be mixed for variety.)
I've got a tally sheet to keep a record of sales and money made. Could everyone please send
me their telephone numbers so i can ring you if necessary before the due date of Monday the 8th of June.
To make things easier, it'd be great if you could bring the money and unsold goods the thursday we meet
that is Thursday the 4th of June. Otherwise get i'll need the day before that Monday.
If there are any problems please give me a ring or email me.
They shall be ready to be collected at the den this thursday.

VenMX 2009
Just a follow up on VenMX for those who were unable to be there; the weekend was a great experience which we will be repeating in 2010. Stephen E was first on scene when a venturer dislocated his knee an hour from a checkpoint. He radioed into Bivouac (VenMX/Army lingo for base camp) to let them know of the situation. Matthew and Kerry were soon there as well with ambulance paramedics. We ended up evacuating the venturer by helicopter after first aid. I'd particularly like to congratulate Stephen in particular for some cool blooded professionalism when first radioing in the emergency.
Kerry MC'd the bonfire on sunday night, which was a great success. All rovers were involved in skits, firelighting and other small tasks on the night.
Apart from that little experience, the leaders on the hike were very pleased to have our presence, and it was also a PR coup for us with the venturers. Our venturers in particular, who cleaned out the hike, winning almost every trophy.
Cheers, and thanks to everyone involved, including Bron & Mark for making our venturer team so successful.

Our Second Flood
Hi all,
I have received an email from Russ saying that power has been cut to the den for safety reasons; hence it would not be advisable to clean it up today.
It is expected that a working bee will be held on Saturday to clean up all the dens including our own. This could pose a problem as Bill/Matt/Iain & myself have gang show committments for Saturday.
I would say that cleaning up the den is more important than gang show, so I will see what can be done about that.
IN the meantime, tonight is cancelled. Do not go down to the den. You will be expected on the weekend.
For those who haven't got the slightest clue how bad it is in the rover den...
