Another Success!

The Sausage Sizzle at Mitre 10, Nuriootpa went off without a hitch on Saturday. 

It wasn't as busy as some sizzles we've had previously, but we still managed to meet and feed a few of the locals and make a few dollars to boot.

Those of us who volunteer to staff these events have a good time together chatting about all manner of things and in the process learning more about each other. The companionship helps make the day.

We are always grateful to our supporters such as Mitre 10, Barossa Fresh, Nuriootpa, and the many people who drop in for a sausage or a bacon and egg roll.

Our next fundraising event is our Memorabilia Sale outside Foodland commencing 19 April 22, the Tuesday after Easter weekend. We look forward to seeing you there.

Fund Raising Sausage Sizzle - Saturday, 25 Sep 21

Our volunteers at a Mitre 10 Sausage Sizzle

This coming Saturday we are running another sausage sizzle at Mitre 10, Nuriootpa. It's strictly speaking not just a sausage sizzle as we will have bacon and egg sandwiches as well as sausages.

These tend to be very popular, so if you are planning a trip to Mitre 10 or simply want to drop in for breakfast, be early so as not to be disappointed.

Last sausage sizzle, we had several people from nearby offices call in for a feed as they said they could smell the cooking and it was too good to miss.

We'll also have a range of soft drinks.

We look forward to seeing you at our Sausage Sizzle and as always, greatly appreciate Mitre 10 for supporting our fund-raising efforts.

Another Successful Sausage Sizzle!

We held another successful fundraising sausage sizzle at Mitre 10, Nuriootpa last Saturday.

As we do a couple of times annually, our members set up and staffed the sausage sizzle with support from Foodland that supplies us with a quantity of sausages and Mitre 10 that provides the barbecue, tables, accessories, and the location outside their entry and exit doors.

It's an excellent spot to attract attention from the many customers who visit Mitre 10 on a Saturday.

After we've been in situ for an hour or so, the hunger-inflicting smell of cooked sausages drifts through the air attracting shoppers and even staff from nearby businesses. One such lady told us she could smell the food and couldn't wait for her mid-morning break to leave her office and buy one of our sausages. They're that good!

Our rolls with bacon, egg and onions are popular in the earlier hours of the day when people stop to have a snack for breakfast. Later, our sausages and onion on a piece of bread and a can of soft drink are more popular.

Some people who pass by simply make a donation. We appreciate very much those who support the RSL and enjoy the opportunity to get out and meet the locals, many of whom we already know.
