We are now able to confirm what we alluded to in last week's newsletter in relation to a fantastic partnership that we have re-activated.As of yesterday's opening cross country round at Rosny Park, we will now be giving out spot prizes courtesy of Mr Burger Tasmania, located just across the road from Eastlands.We will be randomly drawing one participant each week who will receive a $20 gift card (They do an awesome Egg and Bacon Burger and coffee deal for breakfast/brunch for just $12, so great value even if you don't win).And our volunteers won't be left out either, whenever we are Duty Club (like yesterday), we will also draw a second voucher from those who help with our duty responsibilities, whether you also run or not. (But, no, you can't win both).For the first couple of weeks, we will announce our winners after the event, but hopefully, we will soon be able to draw them on the day (just working out how to make sure nobody is missed out), so 2 lucky people will get an email in the next 48 hours with a gift card 🙂Don't forget to support the people who support us. ...
