00:03 I think up until we did have groceries and stuff.

00:07 - We're still doing it, we're still doing it.

00:08 We're still doing groceries being used now,

00:09 we're still doing blankets.

00:11 - Yeah.

00:11 - The cupboards are full of groceries.

00:13 - Yeah, so we had no emergency services here

00:15 for the first 48 hours at all.

00:16 - You'd think that you'd see a lot of people

00:19 getting into the tunnel,

00:20 but we've still got houses here waiting on insurance

00:24 to still get payouts.

00:25 We only just today got our figure for our fence here,

00:37 - What we can do as a club is,

00:39 we've got a great Christmas market coming up

00:41 at the end of the year,

00:51 or whether it's up at the showground,

00:53 we just wanna keep doing fundraisers

00:56 where they can come and contribute

00:57 whatever they can in their time,

00:58 in their whatever,

00:59 so that their self-worth is still there.
