Politicians visit craft show

Local politicians were among those who visited the Peninsula Community Centre on November 26 and 27 for a display of artworks by the Ettalong Beach Arts and Craft Community Centre.

Publicity officer Ms Sue Sullivan said both the Member for Gosford Cr Chris Holstein and former Member Ms Marie Andrews attended the display.

Ms Sullivan said: "Chris told our members that he depended on finding some unique Christmas gifts each year for his family and showed us his first purchase of a beautiful table runner that will grace his meal table on Christmas day.

"He told us that in his capacity as a councillor, former mayor and patron of the craft centre he had been proud of his involvement with this community group.

"He regarded this exhibition as 'a place of hidden treasures' and said it was evident the crafts come from the heart.

"Chris especially noted that he appreciated the hours of dedication that went into making the beautiful quilts on display.

"Marie Andrews was also another welcome guest who never fails to pay a visit to this annual event.

"Our political leaders for Gosford City clearly show a strong sense of community by supporting the arts and several other volunteer groups," said Ms Sullivan.
