The money was raised for the ambulance station at the annual Myall Community Art and Craft Show held over a three-day period in January.

"The show was a success both creatively and financially," MCACC publicity officer Susan Truscott said.

"As a result we were able to donate services and support to the local Tea Gardens Ambulance Station."

The donation was made at the club's monthly meeting, with Ray O'Brien from the ambulance service attending.

The money will go towards providing security lighting and white boards and office necessities for the station.

Mrs Truscott said the Myall Community Art and Craft Show can only be the success it is because of the hard work of event organiser Fran Nichols and her "band of happy supporters" who work for many weeks before the weekend setting up, gathering and displaying the works.

This year 27 paintings were displayed, with many additional pieces from the other creative groups included in the show.

The Myall Community Art and Craft Shop, which is also housed at the centre, also enjoyed an increase in trade during the show.
