Yes, you read correctly, Blighty Bash will be held at the Jerilderie Showgrounds on Bolton Street.

Blighty Bash is a community fun event ran by the churches around the Riverina that is open for young people in school year 6 and up.  Activities include frozen chicken sports, laser hunt, vertical challenge and water fights, tea includes a bbq and is followed by a huge worship event at the completion of the day with an inspiring speaker.

If you’re interested on bringing a group of young people to Blighty Bash or, if you have any questions we’d love to hear from you and field any queries that you, or your group may have of us.

We hope that this event can energise, resource and strengthen both you and the young people in your community in their discipleship and faith journey while you’re having a huge amount of fun.

For years people have asked the question “When will you cut that hair Darren?” and for years he’s answered “one day… maybe… perhaps…” This is your chance to see him without the hair, for one time only (because, quite frankly it might not grow back) Darren will have his head shaved… for a price.

Your donations will go towards helping people attend NCYC 2009 in Melbourne (www.ncyc.org.au) if 25 people donated $100 will send 4 people to NCYC…  Of course, smaller donations are welcome and most certainly encouraged, but he’d like to think that over 15 years of long hair (at least 2 of which included a mullet) $2500 isn’t much to ask.

The plan is to give half of the money raised to NCYC in order for them to distribute to indigenous delegates, so it’s not all about us sending our own young people, it’s about us giving others the chance to go as well.

People who donate will be sent the youtube url of the event as it happened, all clipped and edited (hopefully the day of the shave) and posted on youtube for you all to enjoy.  Those who donate $100 or more shall receive a lock of the hair, a photo of the head completely clean and, if we’re able to hook it up properly may be able to view the shave live and online.

Donations and promises of sponsorship can be mailed, phoned or emailed in to the contact details provided. Please pass on the information and contact details to as many people as you know who may be interested in seeing this hairy man go without the hair…

Saturday sees the campers rise early and head to Mount Hotham where we have a full day in the snow either skiing, tobogganing, snow boarding, snow fighting or downing lots of hot chocolates.
