Yass Swimming Club is holding its biggest fundraiser of the year this Saturday 20 June, with a live wood auction and cake stall on Meehan Street.
Twenty loads of quality firewood will go under the hammer from 10.30am, following a cake stall opening at 9.00am at the Rotary Street Stall. The wood is red hardwood and yellow box, personally cut by club members and delivered within 50km of Yass.
It comes off the back of a remarkable few years for the club. Membership has grown from 40 kids to more than 130 in three years, with new families signing on each season.
“We’ve never seen this kind of momentum,” said club president Hugh Rainger. “Families are joining in numbers we couldn’t have imagined a few years ago, and we want to keep up with the demand.”
The club has also recently completed major infrastructure upgrades, including a new pool heating system funded by the NSW Government ClubGrants Category 3 Infrastructure Grant. The heating extends the swimming season and supports year-round training.
Every dollar raised at Saturday’s auction goes back into equipment, training, and development for the club’s growing membership. The community is invited to come along, support the club, and stock up on firewood for winter.
