Book fair at PCYC

The Rotary Club of Woy Woy held its Bonanza Book Fair on the long weekend at Umina Beach PCYC.

"We knew at the outset that this long weekend was going to be a very tough challenge, but our members put the effort into sorting out the vast array of books into categories to make it easier for the public to locate items of interest and we communicated the event via signage and the media," said Rotary Club organiser Mr Vic Brown.

"The beaches, Navy week, the fireworks, Cup Finals and big band concerts, despite being in Sydney, took their toll on the numbers attending our Book Fair.

"Our intention has been to develop the Book Fair as a long-term fund raiser for the PCYC.

"Recognising that the location of the Umina Beach Club House is at the dead end in Osborne Ave, we have to develop the location over time as a great place to find the books and try and build up the attendance to this annual event.

"We had a lot of happy customers across the two days who found easy parking, the club house facilities very convenient and who bought lots of books.

"The proceeds of the fair and the hamper raffle all go to the PCYC Umina Beach," said Mr Brown.
