Swampies donate to drought appeal

The Swampies Social Golf Club from the Everglades Country Club have donated $2000 towards the Buy a Bale drought appeal.

"We wish to assist drought-stricken farmers to buy fodder to help keep their livestock breeding base alive," said club president Mr John Lewis.

"Although we normally raise funds to assist worthwhile organisations on the Central Coast, we unanimously agreed to donate to the drought appeal as our contribution this year," he said.

The funds were donated to Rural Aid Ltd through the Woy Woy Branch of the St George Bank which is co-ordinating the collection of funds for this organisation.

The Swampies Social Golf Club raise money for charitable donations from members' fees and raffles.

In the last 10 years, the Swampies have donated over $18,000 to local charities with the main beneficiary being the Children's Ward at Gosford Hospital.

"The Swampies Club continue to raise funds for local charities and these donations are made possible by the total support of all the members and the committee," Mr Lewis said.
