It happened on Sunday 29th August 2010. Following Round Two 2010 a group of Perth girls took on City to Surf as our major milestone for the round. The four of us had become quite good friends via the 12wbt forums and we thought that this was a great way to cap off the round.
After the race, myself and another girl snuck on to a bus for the trip back into the city – we were not meant to be on that bus….but fate had other plans! On the trip home we were talking about our 12wbt journey so far and we started chatting about food (as you do). We then discussed the Broccoli Soup and how although we were both hesitant about such a dish, it was the best. Just then a lady by the name of Leanne Bank leaned over to us and said “Excuse me are you talking about the Michelle Bridges program?” “YES!!” we squealed like school girls. The rest of the trip we were all chatting about the program and the possibility of starting a Facebook group so we can hook up for training sessions.
That night we started the “Perth Crew Family” page with a whopping six members! Within two weeks we had 10 members and were so excited to have so many dedicated people in the one place – oh if only we would have known what was install for us! Some months later with the increased popularity of iPhones we upgraded the page and changed our name to “Perth Crew” and the rest is history!
