In 2006 the Wembley West Leederville Residents Association approached the Town of Cambridge to offer a community sausage sizzle at the traditional turning on of the Christmas tree lights event at the Lake. The Town of Cambridge subsequently involved the WWLRA and other community groups in planning for the 2007 event. A new activity for this year brought together local singers for a community choir to lead carols.
WWLRA teamed up with the West Leederville Residents Association and arrived at the Lake on Wednesday 5 December to set up 3 BBQs, 600 rolls and sausages. Alas, the weather gods were not with us. The sky darkened and the wind whipped up from the west. But showing true community spirit we persisted, turning sausages and tofu burgers in our rain gear!
Unfortunately the event had to be abandoned about 7pm as another cold front was imminent.
But don'y worry. We'll be there again next year!
Thanks to members who turned up to help, the West Leederville Residents Association and the Town of Cambridge - and the many residents who braved the weather and helped eat some of our sausages. Anyone need 400 sausages for a BBQ?
Best wishes to all residents for a safe and joyful Christmas and a community-minded New Year.
