Too often we take things for granted.</div> <bR> <div> I visited the facility recently and was highly impressed by the excellent planning that Mike has placed into this wonderful site.  He has added kennels, organized a shipping container to place his tractor and other items in and has roofed the kennel block with donated sheeting. </div> <bR> <div> There is a very tradesmen look about what has been done. There is even a hosing bay.  </div> <bR> <div> The QGBOTA wishes to thank Chris Essex of Big Dog who is very supportive to the industry by donating the concrete on which the kennels and container are built.</div> <bR> <div> Mike advises that young Paul Cauchi provides muscle checks on a Sunday.</div> <bR> <div> Above and beyond the call of duty was evident when Mike went out of his way to assist John and Maureen who are newcomers the industry.  </div> <bR> <div> He helped them trial a greyhound at Albion Park.  And I can tell you a warm bed is very inviting on these cold winter nights. For certain there will be a most deafening cheer when their greyhound salutes the winning post - from the whole 10 supporters.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="261"><div> <IMG SRC="1d904c30.jpg" border=0 width="260" height="195" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="1dc04c30.jpg" border=0 width="260" height="195" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="1de04c30.jpg" border=0 width="260" height="195" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="1007" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#000000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#000000" FRAME="BOX" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 327 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="13fe8410.jpg" border=0 width="1000" height="321" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
