Friends of the Old Bega Hospital Newsletter

Hi

Three things in this newsletter:

Annual General Meeting

The annual general meeting of the Friends was held on 11 November. All resolutions, as set out in the last newsletter were passed. A new committee was elected: president Richard Bomford; vice president Jay Ellard, treasurer John Reynolds, secretary Claire Lupton, committee members Val Little and Pat Jones. The fundraising committee will be Val Little, Claire Lupton, Pat Jones, John Reynolds, Gordon Beattie, Michael Kavanagh and Rebecca Lupton.
 

Spring Fair

The Spring Fair on 28 October was another successful day, with hundreds of people coming to check out the Hospital and the activities. Just a sample is in this montage:

The Fair could not go on without the efforts of volunteers and the support of sponsors. The big cash sponsors are Bega Cheese and Bega Valley Shire Council. Many thanks to them. The smaller sponsors contribute to the chocolate wheel, providing many and varied prizes for lucky tickets on the day. They include:

Thanks also to  Lisa (face painting), Margaret Evans (Kalaru Kennels) and Brett Rogers (dog jumping), ABC radio, to Wollongong Uni and Andrew Constance (for printing) and the groups, stallholders and, entertainers who make the day. 

Raffle Sales

The Friends is running its Travel Voucher raffle again this year. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20, and the prize is $3,000 worth of travel from Flight Centre. No problems there! What we need though is people to help staff the table outside Sportspower in Carp Street, Bega. Having two people on at a time makes it much easier and more fun, so if you can please do spare an hour or two at a time to give a hand. Sales are on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, from 10am to 3pm.

If you can help, contact John Reynolds on 0417 260 454 to put your name down.

All the best

Richard
