JAMIESON Brown was raising funds at the weekend for a school trip to Timor-Leste.
She is one of 14 Year 11 and 12 students at Marist College Bendigo who will assist at schools in the country for 10 days from April 30.
But at the forefront of Saturday’s experience cooking the barbecue was her late grandfather Russell Williams.
The fundraising barbecue was at the Bridgewater clearing sale on her grandfather’s property that attracted a more than 70 registered bidders snapping up on farm machinery, implements and equipment.
The sale had spirited bidding for many items that went under the hammer across more than two hours.
Auctioneers FP Nevins and Co arranged for Jamieson to provide the on-site barbecue on Saturday.
Recent clearing sales by the Inglewood-based company have seen the local Lions club travelling the district, selling food and drinks. Money raised by the Lions club  is used to support community activities including its annual Christmas toy run to schools in Inglewood, Bridgewater and Tarnagulla.
