Sunny Bins have created a sound system package that caters for a number of needs of a small community P.A, our new bins are now more developed than they have ever been.
Chris Corr from the Bendigo Community Farmers Market on a trip to Sydney saw one of our fleet at the Sydney Park Kiosk and put in a grant application to order a new one from Sunny Bins complete with handmade fruit themed speaker surrounds that they supplied.
The grant was given from the local Bendigo Council and a Sunny Bin and Australian made Ashton wireless mic units were ordered. With hand held, lapel and headphone mics, a mini mixer and on-board battery charging equipment the solar sound system bin can cater for a variety of uses.
It was great to see the Market use the bin not only for playing music but also for enabling the amplification of a cooking demo and children’s story session. They also plan to use it for live musicians to play their sets through.
Rather than use a courier we opted to deliver the bin in person and meet the local community in Bendigo and the council at Queanbeyan. Covering 1500k’s in two and half days the two bins were hand delivered. We look forward to hearing how the units go over time in the two communities.
Thanks very much to you Peter and sidekick Tony as well as the whole team for the wonderful couple of days we spent with you in Bendigo. It made the experience of receiving our new Sunny Bin so much greater when it came with stories of the development and past uses of other Sunny Bins.
Our official Sunny Bin launch at our August Farmers Market attracted no less than four City of Greater Bendigo Councillors and an Executive Manager and led to the market being featured in a full two page colour spread in the Bendigo Advertiser.
The Bendigo Community Farmers Market (www.bcfm.org.au) is delighted to have taken delivery of the best equipped Sunny Bin yet and the one furthest from Sydney. The Sunny Bin has already been utilised at a local community garden and we have had many requests to borrow our bin including for garage sales, a street walk fashion parade, library story telling and various community events.
Thanks Sunny Bin team!
