Cr Malcolm Pethybridge for Whipstick Ward

Hey Bendigo! With voting now coming to a close, I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me. Not only through the last two years that I have been on the council, but for the huge amount of support I have had during the election time. From sign writing, printing, shops and houses allowing me to put my signs out, letter box drops, sharing of posts on Facebook, and all the great discussions between. You have all been such a huge support towards my campaign. I am very grateful to have your support and hopeful that we have done our best to have another opportunity to serve an extended term in the council. Don't forget everyone you have until 6pm Friday night to post your votes. So signing off for now. Best of luck to the other candidates and we cant wait to see what happens in the future.
Regards Cr Mal Pethybridge.

Hey Bendigo! How was everyone's weekend? Did anyone happen to catch me at the Sunday market at the showgrounds this weekend? It was such a lovely day! Now that elections are drawing to a close, with voting ending this Friday. Hoping everyone has voted in time and fingers crossed we make it in for another term. Would love to have another opportunity to do my part for Bendigo.

Hey Bendigo! Did anyone happen to see me out in Epsom Bunnings yesterday and catch me for a chat, or perhaps you may have seen the old dodge hooked up to the trailer with my sign? What a lovely weather weekend to get some sunshine and fresh air!
You may have also seen me and my dodge with my signage out at the showgrounds and then down at the lake today. Today was another opportunity to support our town and do some more volunteering for Covid support at the showgrounds, helping where I can.

With school back this week, we hope the children at Eaglehawk Primary School like the new footpaths we put in to help them get to and from school. They look great! There's more yet to come!

Hey Bendigo! Have you all been keeping an eye out for me around town? We did a stop into Bunnings the other day for some supplies and a chat. We also went to the Sunday Market to show our support and also volunteered to help aid the pandemic protocol in helping to keep everyone safe as well as also having a few chats along the way. It was a big job and we got a bit hungry so we ventured through the Hungry Jacks drive thru on the way home.

Hey Bendigo! Today you may have seen me out at the market place. Had a few people taking notice of not only the signage but the old Dodge too, don't be afraid to pop over and say hi if you see me out and about. I'm always up for a chat! Also did a drop in to our locals at the All Seasons Hotel for a lovely takeaway dinner tonight, thanks for another lovely meal!

Was such a beautiful weekend just gone so thought it was a good idea to drop into some local businesses. I decided to go for a tour with the dodge. Did anyone happen to see my mug driving around behind the dodge?

Hello again Bendigo, I have been out and about again putting more signage around town. See if you can spot my mug at our friendly and local fish and chip shop, Lyttleton Terrace Takeaway, where we regularly get our takeaway from. Also check out in Killians Walk. Hope everyone is staying safe and well!
