The Bluey Day Challenge 2002

Remember last years Bluey Day Foundation Challenge?

The Shepherd Club was challenged by the Rottie Club to raise money for the Bluey Day Foundation. We sponsored a Police Dog Squad Team consisting of Senior Constable Wayne Mc Namara and Police Dog Salem, a two-year-old male German Shepherd Dog. The Rottie Club sponsored a team consisting of Senior Constable Andrew Adams and Police Dog Rip, a seven-year-old male Rottweiler.

Well, we lost and word has it that Rip has been giving Salem a hard time about it ever since.

This year we are going to win!

The GSDCV has put together a mega raffle to raise money for this very worthwhile cause. The Bluey Day Foundation donates all of the money it raises to Challenge, which is a support network for kids with cancer.

Salem has personally asked if we could please put in a bit more effort this year and help him shut Rip up. Apparently Rip hasn’t stopped boasting how his team whipped Salem’s team last year.

Well we put our collective heads together and came up with a raffle. But not just an ordinary raffle! The winners of this raffle are really going to have the time of their lives while supporting a very worthy cause. Tickets are just $3 and our aim is to raise at least $10,000 for Bluey Day.

Now you have digested all of the above and are ready to run out and sell every raffle ticket you can get your hands on, there is more….

The draw will be held on 7 August 2002 at 8:00pm at the GSDCV Clubhouse, Manson Reserve, Selkirk Avenue, Wantirna.

Members of the Police Dog Squad will be present and for $5 you get all the pizza you can eat while you are watching the action.

What action you may asked?

Through persuasive argument (thumb screws and blackmail) a number of club luminaries have been convinced to sacrifice their abundant (haha) curls for the sake of motivating all.

David "I love my Hair" Hynd,

Phil "You want to cut what off" Vincent,

Dom "My wife will kill me" Cafari,

Graeme "Not the Moustache" Jacobs,

Frank "No Way" Moody,

Martin "I’m halfway there" Robson

and from Club Sponsor Eagle Products

Jason "You want to do what" Williams.

All have agreed to have the ultimate haircut as long as we raise a total of $10,000. Whichever branch of the GSDCV sells the most tickets gets first choice as to who a nominated person from that branch gets to give a very short top, back and sides to. As for the remaining heads they are open to the highest bidders. So, if you are feeling creative in the hairdressing sense come along to what promises to be a victory celebration for the follicly challenged.

We promise this evening will give a whole new meaning to the phrase: "Having the eggheads in charge!"
