bugga - I missed out for a couple of years whilst admin officer - must put in an invoice, whilst I'm at it might add invoices for all of the other positions held within the brigade, for the numerous training sessions conducted across the group, maintenance undertaken on appliances/station, PR events attended, station activities, brigade activities organised, representation of the brigade at functions, participation in community forums, work missed due to standby at station .................
Hang on I'm a Volunteer!
IF it's costing me to much I should make the one decision I have as a Volunteer - and that is to leave, before CFS financial ruins me!
Reality - Everything costs us in someway - the decision we have is do we continue to do it - that choice is ours alone!
