Congratulations
and thank you to Ian Jarratt and his team on arranging and running
another successful Ron Pursehouse Prostate Charity Day yesterday
(19/6/2024). The objective of the day is to enable Central Coast Health
to purchase valuable and modern day urological equipment for Gosford and
Wyong Hospitals.
Over
80 people attended and supported the event and although not all the
money has come in yet, we anticipate that we would raise about $8,600
for this very worthy charity.
There were lots of prize and auction winners, which I managed to get pictures of.
There were LOTS of people to thank, for helping to make this such a successful event. Many thanks to Creightons Funerals for sponsoring the event.
We would also like to thank Gary Taylor for his sensational painting of
Nicho Hynes, which Nicho signed and thanks to Luke Sarson for
outbidding me to win this unique item. Thanks also to Luke for donating
the Anzac picture & statues. Thanks to MRSL & Club Umina for the
always popular 7 days in Forster and some wine prizes. Thanks to Gwen
Jarratt, Joan Murphy & Jean Harrison for selling all the tickets.
Thanks to Don Stephens & John Hall for managing the cards &
games...not an easy task. Thanks to Grant Ambrose for donating a bunch
of prizes. Thanks to Grimmo for the Man from Snowy River pic. Thanks to
the mighty Mariners for donating the signed Mariners jersey. Thanks also
