Young Hospital Auxiliary held their monthly meeting on Thursday the 4th of September.

A highlight of the meeting included President Janice Ward accepting a cheque from Young Junior Rugby League President Kent Woods.

The cheque was for $800 and was the result of funds raised from a charity day in memory of Neville Woods.

Young Hospital Auxiliary’s Publicity Officer Libby Plumley said, “Neville was involved for many years with rugby league through the juniors, senior league, Group 9 and Woodbridge Cup in coaching and refereeing roles.”

“Mrs Ward thanked the Junior League for their generosity and indicated that the money would be spent on an item of need for the hospital in Neville’s memory.”

Also discussed at the September meeting were the arrangements for the upcoming Open Gardens Day this November.

“Arrangements for the Hospital Auxiliary’s Open Gardens Day are well underway,” said Libby.

“Five generous garden owners will open their gardens to the public in order to raise money for the Auxiliary.”

“There will be a mixture of a country garden, edge of town gardens and town gardens.”

“Further details will follow,” Libby said.

The Open Gardens Day is due to be held on Sunday the 2nd of November.
