 My father brought myself and my brother down to the local fire station when we were in primary school and we used to spend a couple of hours on the Thursday night for Good Friday Bratlin Tins at the local service station and then we're invited on the Friday to get on the back of the truck and doorknock all the houses. Me and my brother continued that right through high school and then many years later I joined the brigade and still going out on the trucks and collecting money. It was in 1983 when on the first Good Friday that we got involved it was a very wet day. There were six of us and we started collecting about 8.30 in the morning and went through it or six o'clock at night and we're now collecting something in the vicinity of about 14 or 15,000 dollars each year for the Children's Hospital just on one day. For those that have been diehards for collecting for the Children's Hospital it's absolutely magic and most were had withdrawal symptoms last year because they couldn't be involved or couldn't do it because of the restriction. When you see those happy little faces on Good Friday on the television it certainly makes it worthwhile to get out in the system.
