An afternoon tea in Empire Bay held as part of Australia's Biggest Afternoon Tea raised $971 for the Cancer Council last Thursday afternoon.

Empire Bay Estate Agency proprietor Mr Geoff Melville said that his business raised the amount with gold coin donations and raffles.

"Over 100 people attended including Vic Davies from Star FM's morning show, who organised a live broadcast on Star FM's afternoon show," Mr Melville said.

Mr Melville said the day was organised by staff members Narelle, Rhonda, Jackie and Greg and helpers Shirley Crocker and Maureen Amos.

The day was sponsored by more than two dozen businesses.
