Bunning [Coburg] Sausage Sizzle
We have been lucky enough to be allocated a spot at Bunning’s in Coburg on the 18th April, to run a sausage sizzle. We need volunteers on the day; we have placed a Bunning’s BBQ roster on the office window for you to allocate a time that is suitable to help on the day. Times are 8.00am-5.00pm. We get very busy from 11.00am-3.30pm so extra help would be greatly appreciated. This can be part of your maintenance levy; it is a lot of fun and a great way to meet other families at Derby Street.
Bunning’s Coburg, 64-96 Gaffney Street, Coburg
