Congratulations to all participants who joined in ‘gNOmeageddon 2014’ earlier this year on May the 4th.
Besides raising an impressive $650 for the Belgrave and Upwey CFA you have also now been recognised as ‘National Record Holders’ for your super effort in gathering 446 people dressed as Garden Gnomes on a day when most would have been tucked away snuggly at home. (Please feel free to TAG yourself on the certificate).
We are intensely proud of your achievement and look forward to seeing you all return to Tecoma with your gNOme friends to break the WORLD RECORD next year at ‘gNOmeageddon 2015’.
Stay tuned for a special NMITDR premier later this evening. The official video is soon to be launched for your viewing pleasure.
