BECS (Ballarat East Community Men’s Shed)

The awesome volunteers of BECS have been sizzling snags at The Bridge Market for a long time now. They show up rain, hail or shine to provide customers new and old with a tasty bite on the go. We’re grateful for their generosity of time and effort every month. Not only are their sausages awesome value, they’re hugely popular as ever and regularly sell out, they’re often spotted helping out as market volunteers in times of need.
