The were no empty seats at the COA, which helps fund cancer and palliative care facilities in Milton Ulladulla, event at the Mollymook Beach Bowling Club. 

Organiser Barry Tomkinson said the fundraising target of $5000 was exceeded on the night. 

“The COA has been overwhelmed by the positive response to the evening and would like to thank all those wonderful folk in the community who have once again helped to maintain these essential health services in our area,” he said. 

“Andrea Tucker used her magical selling skills to encourage those attending to dig deep to bid for the prizes on offer, which helped the COA to exceed their fund raising target for the event.

The attendees drank world famous wine from the Clare Valley, under the direction of the evenings’ ‘wine muse’, John Payne.

This was combined with a “superb” three course meal, followed by entertainment from Sam Buckingham and Kent Eastwood, two of Australia’s best folk and indie musicians, Mr Tomkinson said.
