Tasmanian Boat Charters joins the cleanup effort

Pieter Van Der Woude from Tasmanian Boat Charters has kindly offered the services of his 60 foot Boat the Odalisque for the cleanup this year. The addition of the Odalisque will ensure we can clean the beaches very efficiently this year. The list of volunteers for the 2011 trip has grown to 17 the biggest contingent we have taken down.

Fundraiser Success

The Coastal Custodians fundraiser at the Brisbane Hotel was a fantastic evening with over 130 patrons turning out for the outstanding enertainment. Many Thanks to the Brisbane Hotel for hosting the vent and to all the bands for their generous donation of time, skill and sweat. Red Herring donated the stash of legropes that were give aways through the night. The proceeds from the evening will help pay for the food for the trip and hopefully cover some of the cost of chartering and extra boat so we can get some more volunteers around the coast. Look out for a bigger and better fundraiser next year. Thanks to all those who turned out on the night.

LUCID - Check it out

Nick Damon and Simon Treweek have been kind enough to offer door takings from the Movie premiere's in Newcastle and on Tassies East Coast towards the Cleanup expenses. I caught the movie down in Hobart last week and it was awesome with a full house down at the second showing at the uni with a few of the stars in the audience. Door takings are gold coin donations so drop a few pennies in the jar. Total donations to this point $298.10. Yeow! Thanks again guys and best of luck with the rest of the shows.
