Hospital auxiliary given last donation from bowls group

The Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary has accepted a donation of $1538.05 from the Central Coast branch of Women's Past Presidents bowls group.

The donation is the last from the bowls group before it ceases.

"It was a difficult decision to close but unfortunately we no longer had enough volunteers to continue," said Past Presidents group president Ms Lesley Swales.

"The branch was started back in 1973.

"The Foundation president was Freda Somerville from Gosford.

"The meetings were held at Gosford over the years and events were held at various venues.

"We had the Ruth Shoebridge Shield held at Gosford each year, Charity Day at various venues and our Christmas get-together.

"At each of these events, money was raised and, at the Christmas get together, a cheque was given to the Central Coast Hospital Auxiliaries on a rotation basis: Gosford, Woy Woy and Wyong.

"We are very proud of the fact that since 1982 (as far back as our financial records go), we have donated a total of $59,335.69.

"The hospital auxiliaries have put this money to good use buying much needed equipment.

"Our final presentation was to Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary on Monday, March 8."

Pictured are the presidents and treasurers of the two organisations.
