FIELD DINING NIGHT 8th JULY, 2000. JIMBOOMBA.
The second Field Dining Night was held at Pam and Barry Wright's property at Jimboomba on 8th July, 2000.
Constant work had been going on at the Dining site to ensure improvements to the area.
A shower was made ready for the campers and other enhancements to the general area.
Head table decorations.
The shower under construction. It was ready for the campers who stayed over at the dinner.
It had hot and cold running water.
The bunker where the generator ran to provide power in the dining area.
During the night the generator would run out of petrol and, at the first flicker of lights, Barry Wright, Joe Fisk, Norm Mundy and Bob Collins would dash out to refuel the generator. This always caused great hilarity amongst the guests.
In time electricity was provided in the area.
