The Cambodian Food night at the
Coaching Station is done and dusted. WOW !
What a wonderful evening, the locals poured into the "Coacho" to taste Chef Beau's scrumptious Cambodian cooking. Thanks Beau, you did a great job.

The staff where awesome, with such a huge turn out they were run off their feet. Thanks to Brooke, Karly, Julie, Aaron, Greg and Lisa for coping with the pressure and to Johno and Kelly for their tireless efforts.

There are so many people to thank, but mostly a huge thank you to the Nymboida Coaching Station Inn and the manager Johno and his wonderful wife Kelly for ensuring the night was a huge success and allowing 1/2 the money from the smorgasbord to go to the fund raising appeal.
There are plenty of photo's to browse through from the night,

Fund Raising and Donations
Everyone can check how the fund raising and donations are going by looking back to
this link that shows the deposits going into the fund raising account I have set up. All the money will be going to help Orphanages in Cambodia. We will be paying all of our expenses for travel, accommodation, food etc from our own pockets.
