The 35th annual Good Friday Appeal event was held at the Jerilderie Sports Centre, with a large number turning out for golf and bowling.
Tin rattlers started the day early, and raffle ticket sellers at the club were kept busy, with an auction later in the day and into the evening proving to be a good money raiser, with all proceeds going to the Royal Children’s Hospital appeal.
Congratulations to the organisers, to all those volunteers who helped on the day, and to the businesses and individuals who provided prizes and goods for the raffles and auction.
