January Monthly Challenge – Favourite Floof Photo
The results are in and after a hard and fast voting period, we have our January competition winners: Rocket and Bec! Seen here with the TRSA Tuesday crew at Belair, Rocket is a natural at the jump shot but isn’t a fan of the final stairs back to the railway station – we hear ya, Rocket. Special mention to Davin Natt and his mate, Jed who were a strong community favourite as well.
