The Tankard Fundraising for the Judging Tower is Back
The Judging Tower project for Toppa's Dream has received development consent and a green light for construction. Many thanks to Jon Garling for his generous support of the project and also everyone who purchased fundraising tankards last year.
Due to popular demand, there will be one last opportunity to order your own personalised tankard in support of the Judging Tower project for NSW ACT Freestyle. These hand made, embossed, and uniquely freestyle mugs have become a great collector’s item. The bespoke tankard will be crafted by hand in England using traditional techniques and materials and sized to hold a full pint. Each Tankard will come with your name and an individual number embossed.
All money raised from this initiative will go towards building our new Judging Tower at the bottom of Toppa's Dream. The new facility will be World Cup standard, with fully enclosed, heated accommodation for 14 officials. It will also have a roof top viewing platform, storage and change room facilities.
