Marine rescue raffle drawn
A Umina woman has said she is ecstatic after she won the Marine Rescue Central Coast Annual Boat Raffle on Sunday, October 30.
The raffle was drawn at Deepwater Shopping Centre, Woy Woy, by Member for Gosford Cr Chris Holstein.
After a short delay as last minute shoppers bought tickets to have a final chance in the draw, Cr Holstein drew the winning ticket number 04172.
Unit commander Mr Ian Gallard immediately phoned the lucky winner and Cr Holstein advised her of her success.
The raffle is run every year during the slow boating time of winter and early spring by the volunteers at Marine Rescue Central Coast.
The raffle raises money for operations in the boating season over spring and summer.
