I am writing to express my appreciation of your outstanding contribution to the CARE Australia Dinner on Thursday, May 2. Your efforts during the auction ensured the evening was a great success for CARE Australia.
Sir William Dean
Chairman, CARE Australia
You have conducted the auction at the Caulfield Cup Calcutta in an exemplary fashion for many years. You extract a pool of approx. $40,000 with very entertaining remarks and accurate auctioneering. In the opinion of most people at the Calcutta you are the finest auctioneer we have ever heard and there are many real estate and country people who attend the auction.

Great result for RMD House!
Saturday, 20 July 2013
800 people attended the annual Ronald McDonald House Ball at Crown Palladium last night. Hosted by the effervescent, Tim Campbell and entertained Jon Stevens with his band Noiseworks, it was a lively night.
Sophy and Peter Sirr gave a wonderful account of their time in the house with their little boy Patrick spending the first 3 months of his life in the RCH. I conducted the pledge to fund nights in the Ronald McDonald House. $132 is the amount to have a family in the house for a night and we secured an unofficial 456 nights which totals in excess of $60,000. History tells us that although the figure is unofficial, the real figure will be much more. A terrific result !
