Fundraising events and flatout for work... and some socialising

I have been keeping busy of late doing a variety of activities and due to the time of the year keeping very busy spraying orchards and vegetables - going to have plenty of fruit for Christmas!

Late October was the annual Sydney University Hockey Club Presentation Night, this year the venue was the Grandstand, located at the No 1 oval at Sydney University. The venue used to be the pub I frequented on Wednesday nights as an Undergrad, things have definitely changed and its not a sticky floored uni pub anymore but quite a good function venue.
It was a great night and I walked away with Social Person of the year, possibly getting too old to be winning this award, its another mug for the collection.

I have been out cycling regularly as I had entered the Sydney to Gong bike ride (Nov 7, 2010) which is a fundraiser for the MS society. The ride is 90km starting at Sydney Park, Newtown and finishing at Stuart Park, Wollongong going through the national park at Waterfall. I did the ride with a couple of mates in a team called Team O' Yeah, we raised around $2500 going to a great and needy cause. I did the ride in a touch under 4 hours including stops, not going to brake any records but I will keep working on the cycling. The event is not a race and very social so thorough-ably enjoyable with the sun out at Wollongong its great to relax at the end with a barbie and beer, I would recommend for all those who enjoy a day out to participate.

I thought after the gong ride why nt continue my fundraising and decided on movember, which is much easier than the ride, well for me anyway. I have a little slow on fundraising for this at the moment and really need to get into it as this is for prostate cancer and beyond blue - helping those with depression. For those who care to donate please follow the below l.ink or just to see my updates from week to week

Glad to see you rocking the mo' again, Scacey! You grow a richly luxurious moustache, you know? Mate, I also have to agree with the judges that awarded you Social Person of the Year! Keep up the good work.
 
I was supposed to go on the Gong ride too, but I had a Buck's on the night before so I didn't sign up! Looks like it was good hard work.
 
How about an update, Scacey!? No posts in seven months... It's time.
