Id like to thank the following people for their help on the day serving sausages, cooking sausages and promting MCC to the public:

David Beaumont
Elliot Renzies
David Stimson
Sema Tuncer
Anna Watson
Helena Smirnis
Jack Puccini
Roger McCart
Anne - Maree Rourke

I hope I havnt forgotten anyone!!! Thanks also to Sema Tuncer for donating the bread and to Alex Kaplan for organising and donating the sausages.

Hopefully we can have another one of these in January some time. I would highly recommend that all other chess clubs run a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle as you will make money for your club and promote your club (and chess in general) to the public while they eat sausages...

I would just like to say I enjoyed my recent visit to the MCC very much, and meeting Dave and Grant and other MCC members in person was wonderful. Truly, the MCC is one of the best chess clubs in Australia and it sets the example other clubs should follow.

Keep up the good work guys!

I will put up a few of the pictures I took in the next coming days.
