Wadalba Rural Fire Service Fundraiser – “Drive 5 for Firies”

We are organising a Community Event to raise funds for the purchase of a number of Fire Ground Radios for the Wadalba Rural Fire Service. Each Rural Fire Fighter should have a Fire Ground Radio to ensure their safety and quality communication. Currently the volunteers at the Wadalba Rural Fire Service are short several Radios thus leaving them more vulnerable when they are needed the most. Each Radio costs between $600 & $700.

How the Event will run: Each registered person will receive 5 numbered golf balls that they may hit toward designated flags. Each flag will be representative of a prize. The closest ball to each flag at the end of the allotted time, will be awarded that prize. All $5 entries will be donated to the Wadalba Rural Fire Service for the purposes of purchasing Fire Ground Radios. Food and Drink will also be sold on the day.

Cost: $5 for 5 Golf Balls – No Prior Booking Required - Clubs and Balls Supplied

Celebrity: Murray Cook (The Red Wiggle) will be present on the day.

Wyong Golf Practice Range (cnr Pacific Hwy & Minnesota Rd Hamlyn Terrace)
