Connor's Melbourne Trip. Unfortunately the Storm didn't have a win but we had a busy trip & he handled everything extremely well for his first ever interstate trip. Planes, cars, trains, trams & boats we crammed it all in! No respite, no dramas. We are still happy to help. Ph 0413 295 899 😊

A few photos from our Friday dinner and other activities. I was grateful for the opportunity to visit NRL House and see the work they're doing. If you're interested in volunteering at the games next year, please ask me for more information. Connor and I have really enjoyed the experience. The next and final dinner has been set for November 28th, we invite any suggestions for where to go. Also, we've planned a Christmas lunch at Twin Cities in December. 😊 Nicky 🥰
