Just reupping this. Support your local public school (and stomach)!
As someone who helped run/ worked on democracy sausage sizzles for many years, I'd just like to say that even if you've already pre polled, PLEASE drop by your local public school tomorrow and treat yourself to something from the BBQ or cake stall. Your money goes to a good cause.

Great to see Perth’s LARP community getting the attention it deserve on national media.

I’m new to the various groups mentioned but they have been welcoming and friendly and encourage others to take a look!
