Mountain cattlemen postpone Annual Get-Together

The bushfires have forced us to postpone the Annual Get-Together from January to April.

The Get-Together was to have been held in the second week of January but will now be held on the weekend of April 20, 21 and 22.

The Get-Together has been held in January for decades but the current fire situation has made this impossible for 2007. We usually get 3,000 to 4,000 people attending these events and many of you make it part of your annual holidays. Although many will be disappointed, we hope to make it up to you April.

The intended location was Glenfalloch Station just south of Licola but this has been a major focus of recent fires.

It is really disappointing to have to postpone the Get-Together but the continuing fires and the damage that has already been done, have given us no choice but to postpone the event.

Even if the fires were put out today, the country is black and those who would be working on the Get Together are exhausted.

The April Get-Together will be held in Gippsland but decisions are yet to be made on the location.

Please pass this message out to people who you know might be attending.
