WHEN Sunday’s Australia Day event in Inglewood faced technical difficulties with the music for Advance Australia Fair, Inglewood primary School student Mollie Norman stepped up to help. 
Without hesitation Mollie volunteered to lead attendees in the National Anthem, despite having no time to prepare.
With Lions club organiser Robert Condliffe, Mollie gave a spirited rendition of Advance Australia Fair that encouraged the crowd to be in full voice. Following the anthem, Inglewood resident Brian Hodge, the guest speaker, spoke about his charity work in Uganda. 
Brian spoke about his family’s journey assisting in providing education to orphaned and abandoned children living in Uganda. 
Recently Brian has joined the local Lions club and said he was enthused to work with the local community. 
After Inglewood Ward councillor Miki Wilson presented awards for the Australia Day competition to the children who participated, the Lions club provided a barbeque lunch, and the swimming carnival began as the temperature rose. The warm day saw hundreds take up free admission offers at Loddon pools.
