From Group Training Officer

Following on from the report at the last group meeting I have secured the Wang. training ground for Sunday 15th of April from 8.00 to 15.30 hr.The only problem is that they can only cater for 16 people so at this stage I`m looking at two nominations from each brigade. The day will be aimed at Crew leaders and new members. I will be contacting brigade captains next week but if you read this please email me your nominations as it will save a phone call and give your brigade a better chance of getting a place in case there are to many nominations.

I will be in touch

Grassland Curing

This as you can see is a map of grassland curing . It gives an idea of how dry the grass is and therefore how well it will burn .As you can see with the exception of some of the high country and Gippsland the fuel i.e. grass is ready to go! What is also important is that there is a lot of grass and it is quite high .
