Following the visit of Fifi Box and the Channel 7 Sunrise team to Mudbash last Friday, Fifi covered Mudbash in two segments on her radio show aired nationally on Fox FM.
 
Fifi talks about driving Craig's car (Sir Dallas Brooks R.C. with "Bung 'ole) and having the "Cops" breath test her and then issue her with a "Night Club Stamp".
 
I would like to thank all those Rover Crews participating last Friday morning in the freezing cold.
 
Special thanks to Ash (Kulamunga Rover Crew), Steve Fagan and Craig Dickson (Sir Dallas Brooks Rover Crew) for assisting Fifi with her driving. 
 
Rovers Lou Pocock and Glenn Gregoire also openly discussed their affection for one another during an interview with Fifi Box and how they "hooked up" at Mudbash (check out clip 2 below).
 
Thank you to Mafeking Rover Park for supplying catering and the Mudbash team for their Recovery work.
 
Fifi had a great time and as a result, Rovers received the following media coverage:
 
Friday morning 5/6/09 - 6am to 9am live on Sunrise
Saturday morning 6/6/09 - Fifi talked about Rovers for 20 minutes on her national radio show
Sunday morning 7/6/09 - Weekend Sunrise replayed Fifi's driving
Monday morning 8/6/09 - At 7.20am, Fifi thanked the Mudbash organisers and replayed the clip once again.

We hope to have Fifi come back to Mudbash in 2010...Maybe even as a full competitor for the weekend!  Does anyone need a Rover Advisor?

I thought I would provide you with an update from the Extraordinary Rovers = Extraordinary Crews. The collation of all your ideas is now complete and a summary is being prepared for distribution. A team will be developed soon to take the "next step"... You will hear more about the next step team in the coming weeks through your Region Rover Councils.
Also we are looking at setting up a mailing group (email) so that we can keep you informed of progress from the conference, there will be more information about this soon as well..
 
We know the conference was a resounding success and there was opportunity to provide some views suggestions to improve Rovering. We would like to know what you thought, so we would appreciate it if you took the time to complete a survey which will give us some insight to what you thought was good and what you thought we could improve. This will help us in any future ventures of this kind. The survey can be found here:
