00:00The Mallatta Golf Club had to come up with a way to keep the doors open
00:03and we thought the Harvest Pledge in a season issue where there's a good season
00:08the growers may get involved and support the club so we thought it was a great
00:12idea to kick it off to try and raise some money for the
00:15community not only just the golf club the hall
00:17the tennis court and the school in these smaller towns all need a little bit of
00:21help. The whole aim of this is to keep the club
00:24open for the community you know it's cost us
00:26in excess of 160 grand a year just to run the club without all the other
00:30community things we're trying to help with the school and everything else so
00:34yeah we're trying that's the whole reason for this is to keep
00:37something open for the community. Our target's 500 ton
00:40or equivalent cash. Asking growers just to donate a portion of their grain
00:46whether it be five ton, ten, twenty whichever
00:50and that just gets converted using an NGR number which i'm sure they're
00:53familiar with when they drop off to Manildra or
00:56Braincorp which whichever and that just gets converted to funds
00:59straight to the account yeah and that's going to really help
01:02propel the club forward. I think structurally needs a bit of
01:05work there's a lot of appliance that need for the kitchen
01:08outdoors need to be rectified plumbing yeah and we really need some
01:14help with that and it's getting quite desperate.
01:16I'd assume a lot of small towns in regional area not-for-profit
01:21businesses are all under all sorts of pressures I assume at the moment
01:26financially at the moment so this is this was our
01:30little way of trying to raise money to keep
01:32the doors open on our little community and
01:36it's been very well supported.
