Geoff Kampf is the epitome of the good site manager. I have never experienced a cleaner site and this means 100 per cent of the time, a safer site, a better organised site, a site more enjoyable to visit. Geoff’s organisational skills and his atten- tion to detail, his ability to organise a large team of diverse subcontractors, myriad deliveries of mate- rials and the host of other tasks thrown on the site manager, together with his unfailing good humour, readiness to suggest solutions to problems, and his care and attention to the clients’ needs, have all been pivotal to the success of the project. In short, the HB Toowoomba team has made this project, for me personally, one of the outstanding highlights in my 45 years in architecture. To you Robert, and to Matt, Craig, Geoff, Greg, Danny, Louise and all your staff, sincere congratulations on a very good job extremely well done.

THE Builders Labourers Federation recently put on a black tie event in Brisbane which would have put a Hollywood premiere to shame. The event was held to help BLF in its work to combat prostate can- cer. The five-star fundraising event featured the Number One World Title contend- er, Michael Katsidis, The Great, in an international bout with John Wayne Parr, voted 2004 Fighter of the Year by International Kickboxer Magazine. The night also featured inter- national Muay Thai bouts. Other entertainment included magicians, comedians, podium dancers and a spectacular state-of- the-art laser show from NASA. Hutchinson Builders sponsored Michael Katsidis for the fight and rallied the support of clients and associates to take eight tables for the evening. It was a huge success and could become an annual event. Scott Hutchinson presents Michael Katsidis the winners trophy.

STEVE Pink, Consolidated Properties, and son, James, recently shaved their locks to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. They went under the razor as part of a world record attempt for the number of heads which could be shaved by five hairdressers in four hours – a record currently held by the Poms. Unfortunately, the attempt failed, but $3000 was raised for a good cause with Hutchies’ support.
