Garden club sponsored

Gosford Council officers have recommended that council sponsor the Killcare Heights Garden Club.

The $3000 sponsorship would be provided under council's Sister City Cultural/Sporting Exchange program.

Expressions of interest were recently called for the sponsorship program, under which $6000 is made available for cultural/sporting exchanges.

The Killcare Heights Garden Club stated that its goal was to foster understanding and interchange between the citizens of Gosford and Edogawa, particularly through their shared interests in the benefits and beauty of gardens.

The club stated that it was proposed to visit Shinsui Parks, Shin-Sakongawa Shinsui Park row boats, Sogo recreation, Heisei Garden and Koiwa Iris Garden.

The group, consisting of 16 members, would stay for four nights, and have designed a carry bag to promote Gosford's Sister City program.
