End of Era party well attended

An End of an Era Evening was staged at the Hardy's Bay RSL Club on Saturday, June 29, with a large attendance.

The party had been planned a month previously, as the club board believed at the time that a buyer was going to renovate and lease back the club, but negotiations fell through.

Despite poor weather, a large crowd turned up for a night of singing and dancing to the accompaniment of band Ambiguous and Friends.

During the evening, raffles were conducted and Member for Robertson Ms Deborah O'Neill was present to draw out one of the recipients.

Donors for the raffles included Killcare Cellars, The Empire Bay Tavern, local resident John Brown and Cinema Paradiso, Ettalong.

Negotiations relating to the club's future are still underway, but the club board has advised that it was business as usual and members were encouraged to renew their memberships and continue to support the club throughout this uncertain period.
