First Update from the Bash! - 14th August 2007

The Variety Bash kicked off on Saturday morning, with the departure from Mt. Gambier followed by nearly three whole days of non-top driving – with a few celebrations and merry-making thrown in along the way. Unfortunately, our coverage hasn’t been as frequent as we’d have liked though, thanks to a near legacy-like satellite phone. It’s impossible to call while driving, cannot send SMS but can receive them and has no caller ID making it impossible to respond to calls.

From what has been reported to us here at the office, they’ve been making their way down many red dirt tracks and the country is beautiful. The rest stops each evening are proving to be a laugh, with the Adams Family crew finding strong allies with the ARMY team and Borat. They’ve been up to a little mischief already and its still early days yet!

Tonight, Greg, Scott, Rebecca and Roger are being joined by Mark as he flies to Menindee to meet them and join on the bash. Mark’s arrival will be just in time to prepare for an Adams Family Fun Stop tomorrow morning, where they’ll be stopping by a cemetery for some tea, biscuits and bats wing broth as they make their way toward Nulla Station.

We’ll keep you up to date!

Oh, forgot to mention that Adam Internet was lucky enough to receive a generous donation from Nationwide Stationers of more than 6 kilograms of lollies to be handed to children on the Bash. Thank you for your support! Those Minties and fruit chews will most definitely be appreciated.

Car ADAM raises record breaking funds for 2007 - 8th August 2007

We’re all very happy at Adam Internet right now!

Following the Variety Bash dinner held on Friday August the 3rd we now have the official results of how our entry, Car ADAM, ranked for the year. We are proud to announce that Adam Internet raised a whopping $104,000 for Variety and we only begun to fund raise in March!

This sum makes us the highest earning Virgin Bash car not only for the year but also in the history of the South Australian Variety Bash. And more good news, Car ADAM became the second highest earning car overall, earning us a coveted golden door panel and the ability to take a support vehicle along for the ride.

Stay tuned for more Bash news as Car ADAM departs from Mt. Gambier on Saturday the 11th of August.

Adams Family Gala Fundraiser photos - 20th July 2007

It’s been an extremely busy time this month. We held the Transformers film night on the 4th of July at Piccadilly cinemas, which proved to be a huge hit with everyone in the audience and we most recently held the Adams Family Gala Fundraiser.

The Gala Fundraiser is the first function Adam Internet has held of its size and the reaction from those attending was excellent. Apparently, our function was up there with one of the most fun, which can be attributed to the wonderful organisational skills of Rebecca Razzano and The Observatory, Tim Adams Wines that kept the night warm, Kym Dillon who hosted the evening, Anthony Toop (of Toop & Toop) that ran the auctions to raise funds and to Planet Square, who kept everyone rocking on the dance floor all night long. It truly was an entertaining evening, loud, friendly and groovy.

The aim of the evening was to raise funds for Variety – The Children’s Charity. We’re happy to report that the night raised over $25,000! Over 70 items were auctioned off over the course of the evening, both silent auctions and those sold by Anthony Toop, all of which were donated by many of our business partners and clients. Thank you to all those that provided these items, they were all well received (and paid for!).

A few professional photographers and some of our camera-adept staff were on hand for the evening, with many of the photos available at the public gallery [here]. Here’s a short selection:
