Panthers raised over $10,000 on an amazing night at Panthers Bathurst on Saturday night.

Kath Hewitt was the guest auctioneer on Saturday, as $12,000 was raised on the night.

Panthers were raising money to help find a cure for Fredreich’s Ataxia, a disease that claimed the life of Shane Lawson, brother of current footballer Blake. 

Panthers also held a pink jersey auction in the past fortnight, with money raised going to Geoff Wicks’ family. 

What an amazing effort by the Bathurst Panthers.

Earlier this month, the quick-thinking of two CSU paramedic students – Jack Keppel and Andrew Fraser – saved the life of Orange City rugby union coach Steve Hamson. 

Mr Hamson collapsed to the ground before the kick-off, ahead of his side’s match with CSU.

It was lucky that two paramedic students were on CSU team sheet.

They commenced CPR and used a defibrillator to keep the coach alive until ambulance officers arrived on scene about 15 minutes later.

Now Mr Keppel and Mr Fraser have been rewarded for their life-saving acts.

The two CSU rugby players will be off to watch Australia and New Zealand play on Saturday night, in the first Bledisloe Cup match of 2017. 

Parade has just returned from a four week trip to the United Kingdom and it was a tough time – the British don’t have chicken salt. 

Well if they don’t have chicken salt, you may be wondering what they have with their fish and chips.

They have normal salt, gravy and mushy peas, which is somewhat of a delicacy.

None of these comes close to quality of chicken salt. 

Withdrawal symptoms persisted within days of touching down in London and chips with chicken salt were consumed tenfold on the first day back in Australia.
