Blunt Hair and Beauty has been the major sponsor of the Gepps cross Cricket club for the past two seasons. Owners Matt and Jodie Burr have had an association with club since 1996 when Matt started playing the best part of 3 years in the B grade and a occasional A grade birth. A few years out of the game brought back his hunger not just for playing the game but to see the club right with some financial backing when working in the construction industry. Now in a new business venture in Blunt Hair and Beauty with wife Jodie, Matt is spending a lot more time off the tools giving his weary body a rest. There is a whisper he might make a comeback! I don't know if the club is that desperate! Saturday October 24th at The Northgate Sports and Social Club Blunt Hair and Beauty along with The Cancer Council SA hosted a fundraising event for skin cancer and the maintenance of Flinders and Greenhill Lodge. This event was called 'The Blunt Truth about Cancer' where they raised about $5,400. Over 30 businesses supported this event in some way, but special thanks must go to Kym Flanagan and the Northgate people, Limbo's Gym, Appellation Wine Company,Godfreys, A.J.Coleman, Robyn Stevens, all the staff at Blunt, Kate Totman from the Cancer Council. Also to the volunteers who helped make and serve the food, the set up and much much more.
Matt and Jodie would like to wish all grades including the junior cricket club a fun and successful year.
