THAT Henry Kessell!! Haha Such a pain in the arse sometimes but definitely a hunk of burning spunk!!! Not that I’m biased hahahaha Love it!!!!! But he is not all the town thinks…. He may have grown up there but no one really knows him. He comes across as proud and arrogant and has a dark past but he has a red hot heart of looove! ❤️
LOVE this. Constable Cath sounds fun! Can't wait to see what she gets up to. And guess what, you made me LOL (actually, really, real life LOL). Here's why.. Corrine Pashley: @Deb Johnman – THEY’RE not THEIR. - This is EXACTLY what I do. Just ask my friends. Haha.... They also always send me proofreading as well, for some reason I can just pick up on spelling errors. I bet Corinne Pashley is gonna be annoying!
The fundraiser could be a progressive dinner at various town locations and ending at the town hall. Aimee sounds like she is bored so she could become an Only Fans creator to spice up her life a bit(anonymous of course and under a pseudonym) and someone from the town subscribes to her 🤣🤣 or Henry Kessell could subscribe to her!
Ooh love the progressive dinner idea!! And OMG too funny re Aimee - not sure she's the type but I'm only just getting to know her. James would hit the roof!
Definitely a long table Paddock to Plate dinner for a fundraiser! Imagine what could happen with pre dinner gins and beers plus those wine pairings for 12 different dinner plates haha
A dance of some sort might be a great fund-raiser. Maybe one with all those country dances we had to learn at school such as heal toe polka or whatever it was called.
This is hilarious! Love how you’ve incorporated club members’/ retreat attendees’ names in the facebook posts.
Fundraiser ideas; colour run, lamington/pie/chocholate drive, competition to design a BIG attraction for the town, some sort of “athon”. I like Melanie’s scavenger hunt idea too as well as Aimee’s hobby being somehow ‘undercover’.
Fundraising could be a scavenger hunt type thing where they make teams (with an entry fee) and have to visit all the local businesses as part of it (helping locals at the same time). So it could be things like a used paper bag from the bakery after you’ve eaten what you bought, a receipt from the post office, a coaster from the pub, a postcard from the newsagent, a jar of preserves from the local produce store, etc… there would be a time limit and prizes for first, most unique collection, most money spent on achieving the goal… it could have a theme where each team dresses up and a big sausage sizzle or pig on a spit at the footy club at the end, like a sundowner…
I think Aimee’s hobby sounds like it needs to be something James doesn’t know about as it seems likely he wouldn’t approve. Maybe she’s the local agony aunt on Facebook, or maybe she’s into photography and later on one of her photos accidentally captures something important.
Just my morning musings… 🤣🤣
Can’t wait to find out more about Aimee, James, Henry and the rest of the characters.

HAHA - so far I think the only one that isn't a tad annoying is Aimee!!! Glad you're enjoying it though and yay on the grammar stuff! x
I had to read it twice because I got carried away looking for names I knew! Such fun!
Fundraiser, a long lunch? Guest of honour Henry, then either sits next to Aimee or Aimee is the caterer and she serves him.
Love this Rachael, great read!
HAHA! I'm sure a Pat will appear at some stage :)
I'm so stoked I made the story!!!! Thanks for the mention Rach!
You're welcome! x
Maybe
Aimee loves gardening
She loves trees
They are special to her
She was a arborist
Maybe she’s not
But thank you
This is fun xx
Great poem! Thanks for subscribing. xx
Love this! Love Constance Cath’s content 😂

Ooh like a paddock to plate! x

Great idea! x
For the fundraiser it could be a rodeo or camp draft or a footy match where the farmers vs townies
OMG imagine if the Townies WON!! Thank you for subscribing. xx
You’re welcome. I love this story and the whole idea - so clever xx
Love that you used Members names. I see a few familiar ones.
I'm trying but won't be able to use them all sadly :( x
That was so good. I read it while tucked up warm in bed this morning.
The town could do a fete, complete with tombola stall like we had when I was a kid (showing my age here).
Aimee could be a wildlife warrior, searching for endangered nocturnal creatures.
Loving this so much and the chat thread had me in stitches 🤣🩷
So glad you enjoyed it. Off to look up 'tombola'! LOVE the idea of being a wildlife warrior.

I'm also choosing names from subscribers :) Thanks for all your fab ideas and thanks for subscribing :) xx
