“We are thrilled to share the extraordinary generosity of our major sponsors and donors towards our Auction,” said organisers Ray Stig and Raelene Squires.

A heartfelt thank you goes to North Coast Boating Centre, Urunga, for their donation of two kayaks.

“This generous contribution not only adds to the thrill of our golf day but also highlights the diverse support we receive from local businesses,” said Raelene.
