On Saturday I went to the Yeronga State School fete and helped out on the barbeque stall. On behalf of the organising committee, I want to thank many of the volunteers connected with that wonderful event, which is held only every two years. In particular I thank Sarah, Kate, Gretta, Leesa, Amy, Andrea, Faith, Megan, Sandra, Kristen and Sara. There were so many people who turned up to help with the fete, and I know I will not get through all the names because I am reading from a very long email.

Thanks to Georgina Rowe, Anna Crumpton, Chante Tanielu, Amy Bewley, Andrew Kerswell, Kath Underwood, Chrystal Hall, Faith Hage, Sam Kendall, Suzie Wiltshire, Kristen Stafford, Riza Price, Ili Bone, Leah Lane, Ann Webb, Lorien Beazley, Steve Griffiths, Andrew Howell, Maggie Nolan, Rebecca Hartwick, Di Rejimon, Fiona Musgrave, Maria Morell, Koulla Constantinou, Julia Long, Sophie Walker, Kirsten Chant, Mandy Flack, Andrea Wold, Jane Quire, Sandra Bingham, Kristen Jennings and the whole YOSHC crew—to name just a couple!

I thank Paul Sutherland, who helped out with the cleaning; Rick and Jane Quire; Christian and Kristen Jennings; Sandra and Steve Bingham; Gretta Palmer; Sara Burg; Brad Wegner; and Hugh Webb, who did a stellar job of organising. I also thank the many dads who turned up. Thank you to the people who were brave enough to be dunked. I particularly apologise to Mr Curness, who, I believe many people tried to dunk. To the many other people whose names I do not have time to get to: thank you for the great contribution you make to Yeronga State School. (Time expired)
