Barwon Heads Tin Shed’s popular Good Friday function raised more than $60,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal last year and organisers are hoping to beat that today (April 7).
Officially called Barwon Grove Golf Club, but always referred to as the Tin Shed, the final amount of $61,465 made it the number one pub or club in Victoria for its fundraising efforts.
Last year’s event attracted around 500 people.
Club president Conan Roos said there is heaps of fun for the entire family.
“We want to break that record this year,” he said.
“Last year was amazing. We were all stunned so we think, why not try and break it again this year.
“It’s a really fun family day. We are all about giving back to the community and there’s usually not a lot to do on Good Friday, so we want to let everyone know that we’ll be open and it will be a great day.”
Attractions include children’s activities, food vans and both silent and traditional auctions and full bar facilities.
There will be more than 60 major auctions with prizes ranging from accommodation packages, sporting memorabilia, hospitality and entertainment, corporate donations and more.
The Tin Shed’s Good Friday Appeal will begin at noon with auctions to start at around 1.30pm.
The Tin Shed is located just behind the Barwon Heads Fire Station off Sheepwash Road, Barwon Heads. Entry is via gold coin donation.
