REDFEB is Heart Research Australia’s signature fundraising campaign. It promotes a heart healthy lifestyle and raises much needed funds for first-stage innovative research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Visit redfeb.com.au for further information.

B&B will again be assisting this cause in 2016 by holding a fundraising race over the whole of February. The “Race” will be between our own two teams: The A TEAM and TEAM OMEGA. You can donate funds to your chosen team on the team page, or even better, you can create your own page where all your friends can donate towards the cause.

Our fundraising effort will be highlighted on Saturday 13th February when we will all exchange our pink caps for RED ones at 7 am as we have our own “RED FEB RACE”. I think we know who will win the swimming race, but who will win the fundraising race? To help you choose who to support, here is a statement in support of each of the teams:

A-Team (Total 457.35)
The A-team comprises the elite swimmers in the Bold and Beautiful. Not only are they good looking, they are FAST. They like to compete and they like to WIN. While they are virtually assured of a win in the swimming race, they also want desperately to win the fundraising! Dave Panton, the quintessential A-Teamer says “Bring it on!”

Team Omega (Total $1750.40)
The members of Team Omega are slow but steady. While they are normally found at the back of the pack, they are always persistent and never give up. No challenge is too great for these swimmers. Elizabeth X, the leader of Team Omega, and an experienced fundraiser, says she is quietly confident of a victory.

Monthly Dinner Special Event – John Kelly’s Beer Tasting Dinner!
The next B&B monthly dinner is on Tuesday 8th March at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. For this event a FREE beer tasting is included for B&B members and their friends. Local business, Dial a Drink, has collaborated with northern beaches craft brewer Nomad to give the B&B the opportunity to participate in an exclusive FREE Craft Beer tasting and learning session. Discover the unique range that local brewery Nomad offers, and learn more about craft beer, the ingredients, taste profiles and some of the best brews. You will have the opportunity to purchase your favourite beers from the tasting, with Dial a Drink delivering your order straight to your door following the dinner.

The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes the beer tasting plus shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). For those who are not partial to a cold beer, glasses of wine will also be available at the special price of only $5 each, so you can still come along and have a great time with all your B&B friends. Desserts will also be half price ($5 each). Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential: To avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book HERE.
