Better get cracking - esCarpade will be here before you know it!

Damian and Hoges have been invited to bring Retro Rock-It along to another Corvettes event in a couple of weeks, so Damian figured he should probably start Retro Rock-It (just to make sure the poor, neglected old thing still runs)!

Well, the lights work, that's something!

It's alive!

Looking alright, but a bit on the dirty side...

Fancy!

The old Giggle logo... soon to be replaced by the new, fancier Camp Quality Giggle logo!

Merlin assisted the washing of Retro Rock-It... and by "assisted", Damian means "supervised"!

Looking a bit cleaner now...

Merlin is impressed!

But  now he's had enough photos, and is getting out of the way...

If you'd like to support Damian and Hoges, and perhaps even Jason as well, feel free to click on that Donate Now link up above!

In unrelated news, there's been quite the honour bestowed upon Damian...

Last week (during National Volunteer Week), Damian was awarded the 

Queensland Gillard Volunteer of the Year Award

and if that wasn't enough, he was also announced as the recipient of the 

National Gillard Volunteer of the Year Award

selected from the state award recipients!

Damian was truly honoured and humbled to have been selected for these awards out of all the wonderful and deserving volunteers across Camp Quality.
