    A sneak peak of the Friday night entertainment :laugh:
    And yes, that is a Skeleton Onesie being worn by the Club President :silly:
    Quite a sight watching him run down to the gate in the dark to collect campers fees turning up at the gate after dark :woohoo:

    Man, What a weekend (well Friday to Sunday arvo for me) ;)

    Had a ball, done a tonne of walking, lugging, bunting, cable tieing, rock picking and flag waving & I came home totally stuffed last night :laugh:

    The crew at HVMCC have done a sterling job up there and it is sure to be a venue for more similar events in the future.
    The track is awesome and I heard nothing but excitement from all the competitors and officials I spoke to or overheard all weekend.

    Also was great to catch up with the Old Bulls and their club mates, who made me feel like one of the crew in no time :)

    The evening activities were also something to behold, and I have never laughed so hard in years, you had to be there to get the jist, but Friday night was a barrel of laughs with some great acoustic guitar duos and sing alongs . Sat night was a bit more subdued 😆 😆

    Can`t wait for another chance to get amongst it & help out …

    Looking like a top weekend weather wise too :)

    From what I have read, the track is in top condition and a real credit to the organisers since the rebuild and problems that plagued them last year :whistle:

    Yeah Sorry,
    My apologies to Snowy and the many other Obters that are professionals and achievers in what they do ;)

    I was referring to the type of people I have been exposed to during my latest position within a company that had no real understanding of the damage a “Boys Club” can do to the credibility of a business.
    To be clear, this was in the Manufacturing sector and whilst there is a massive widespread downturn affecting this area currently, and I understand the company needs to restrict it`s spending and improve profitability to maintain it`s presence in the market.

    However, there needs to be a better connection with the decisions made by some individuals and the way in which restructuring occurrs,,,
    What I experienced was a sad, sad state of affairs that saw the clique members of the obvious “Boys Club” retained and placed in positions that they clearly have no proven , qualification,experience or idea of how to interact within those positions!!!
    Far too many good, proven performers were overlooked and clearly not even in the running to be kept on :angry:

    To be honest, I have grown within myself since parting ways with the company, enabling me to see the bigger picture more clearly.
    I wish them well for the sake of the community, but to be honest hope I never have to have dealings with the group again ;)

    Sorry for the rant and heading off topic :laugh:

    :laugh:
    Plenty of blokes on DR`s hey ???
    You cheeky bugger!

    I was in an office today talking possible jobs and a guy came in said another large (shal remain unnamed on here) employer let all its casuals go today and have cut their permos to the bone, reduced shifts etc
    It has been coming for a while and is going to get a lot worse it seems before turning the corner ???

    Just shows that there are also a tonne of “Decent” workers out there looking around the markets now due to a massive industry downturn.
    Hell, I`m even considering going onto a Traineeship at about a third of what I usually earn to lock something in and give the game time to recover :dry:
