A local tattoo parlour has broken its Good Friday Appeal fundraising target by thousands of dollars, with ideas already brewing for another fundraiser next year. Disciples of Ink in Bacchus Marsh ran a ‘Flash Day Fundraiser’ on Good Friday, with small fine line designs for $50 and larger designs for $100 – with all proceeds going to the Good Friday Appeal. In March, Disciples of Ink owner Kieran Tyrrell said he was hoping to raise “a minimum of $2,000” for kids in need. Come Good Friday, Mr Tyrrell was blown away by the community support, and the money that was raised. “It was crazy…we had more people turn out than we expected. We ended up raising $6,846. We didn’t finish tattooing until about 10 o’clock that night. It was a good day, it was flat out…we learned a lot of things for next time,” he told the Moorabool News. “We were pretty stoked at the turnout. We looked out the front at around about 9.30am when we opened the
doors, and there was probably 50 or 60 people out the front. Within half an hour, it was around the corner past the Commonwealth Bank.” Mr Tyrrell hopes to run a bigger Flash Day Fundraiser for next year’s Good Friday Appeal, and “hopefully get other tattoo shops involved, and make it bigger and better”. He gave his thanks to the community for getting behind the fundraiser, and local businesses for contributing to the day. “Thanks to the Moorabool community, thanks to the Moorabool News for the discount in the paper…thanks also to The Butcher Club and The Village Deli, for putting in prizes for the raffle we ran,” Mr Tyrrell said. With raffle tickets on sale for $2, first prize went to Emma, who won a $1200 tattoo session with Kieran or Josh, while second prize went to Jo, who won a meat tray and cheese platter worth $100, courtesy of The Butcher Club and The Village Deli.

A man facing three driving charges has had his case adjourned to later in the year, providing him time to find some lost paperwork. Francis Colosimo appeared in the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates’ Court on Friday 6 May facing three separate charges, all of which involved unlicenced driving. The second included refusal to undergo a breath test, while the third also included unregistered driving. Mr Colosimo said he had lost paperwork that was “integral to the case”, and he needed a transcript from two County Court Judges from 2015 that he had been unable to obtain. “I have not done anything wrong…the time with Allison [the third charge], I was followed
to my home, and they entered in without a warrant,” Mr Colosimo said. Magistrate Hugh Radford said he was going to adjourn this off to a contest mention date. “And, in the meantime I want you to have some discussions with the prosecutor to try and resolve these matters. “The matter will come back before the court on the contest mention date, and if the matter is not resolved on that date, you’ll sit down for a contested hearing, and you can have your day in court and put forward any evidence before the Magistrate,” he said. The contest mention was set for 16 September at the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates Court. “One thing you have to do sir, is keep turning up to your court dates,” Magistrate Radford said.
