A triple letter dinner with a twist
Sadly we will not be enjoying triple letter dinners in the usual way this year.  Instead the Community Team invites you to join in the fun of Fabulously Fancy Feasts within your own households any time during August, any day, any meal – breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Create a menu, dress up, decorate your table, light some candles, make fabulous, make it fun and most importantly take photos.  Share them on the FFF Facebook album.

Powershop “switch a friend” bonus now available!
We’re delighted to announce that BUC has taken a significant step by switching our Sydney Rd site’s electricity from 20% to 100% GreenPower. Would you like to help yourself, BUC and the planet all at the same time? If you switch to Powershop electricity based on BUC’s referral, then they will credit you and BUC with $75 towards both accounts. Naturally, you should do your homework about whether that makes sense for you overall.
If you do want to switch, and credit BUC as part of the deal, follow this link: https://secure.powershop.com.au/r/shawnw-yEWuQju?p=556
