Chillingham Hall
26TH September 2003
The response both in the media and public
attention coming up to the dance was amazing.Everyone I spoke to was unbelievably
supportive.Businesses were more than happy to support our raffle.People
were talking and I was looking forward to the dance with very high hopes.
On the afternoon of the dance there were severe storm warnings around
the area but only a few bursts of storms at Chillingham.The bands were
amazing as was the sound. Hiring Jake and Chris was a really good decision.
The hall looked fantastic with the furnishing of Chantik and the overall
product was excellent. All the bands who donated their wonderful time
and energy have expressed to me they believe so much in this venture they
will continue to support this dream so it becomes a reality.
I cannot begin to thank the people who put so much time and effort in
before and on the night. It was a real community dance.
The next bush dance will be held on the 25th October at Burrinbar Hall,
Burringbar. 3 Bands are on the card, Bohemian Fringe, My Favorite Colour,
Popular Duo Katrina and Shane with the inclusion of more entertainment
to be finalised. Scrumptious Vegetarian Food and Drinks available. Byo
alcohol. 7.30 start to late.thanx to all, lots of love.

From an early age, it was clear Bob would go far. He was the New South Wales Under Eight recorder champion and on the track, he consistently won the 100m 'run like a girl'. He continues to compete in the race to this day, triumphing with the Gold medal at the Sydney Olympics. He can underarm throw too. Bob's first job was in the window of Grace
Brothers where he was doing back to school
fashion but it was a chance appearance in a kids' hairdressing competition
on The Tarax Show and watching 50's and 60's musicals on TV that were
to lure Bob into the world of show. The boy was born to sing.
Fame came from hosting the daytime TV show, Good Morning Murwillumbah,
on which Bob was able to provide his own inimitable fashion and hair care
tips. A trim 40-regular, despite his 6' 1" height, Bob steps out
in a dainty size 8-1/2 Hush Puppy.
Murwillumbah met Manhattan when Bob debuted his live show in New York,
to great critical acclaim, in the Spring of 2001. A year later and Bob
was to show he wasn't just a pretty face when he won the celebrity version
of the Weakest Link. He was also the Big Brother voice on the Australian
celebrity version of the reality TV series.
Despite previously having a girlfriend, Miss Pastel Vespa and a much-publicised
engagement to the blonde bomb-site herself, Lily Savage, as well as a
long standing engagement to childhood sweetheart Coralee Hollow, Bob remains
a confirmed bachelor.
Special mention must be given to Mark Trevorrow for giving Bob a helping
hand (and other body parts) to become the actor, singer, model, dancer
and international variety artiste we know and love. My question to all
this is, did anyone in the town ever know this guy? - DGR
