The club's exhibition at the Wauchope Showground on 13-14 July attracted plenty of community support, with the show's annual auction fundraiser on the Saturday night raising $1110 for the Palliative Care Unit, one of six beneficiaries supported.

Palliative Care Acting Unit Manager Jodi Gallagher and Resident Medical Officer Dr Kate McCulloch gratefully accepted the donation from the club's Secretary, Greg Cavanagh. The funds will be used to purchase patient comfort items.

"The Show is always a popular event for exhibitors and truck, tractor and machinery enthusiasts and our auction fundraiser was once again well supported by sponsors, club members and visitors," Mr Cavanagh said.

"We are delighted to be able to continue to support local people by sharing the funds raised with charities, service clubs and other worthy recipients selected by our members.

"Wauchope District Memorial Hospital's Palliative Care Unit provides incredible support to patients and their families from throughout the Hastings and Camden Haven and we are happy to be able to help."

Ms Gallagher said the donation would help to enhance patient care.

"We are very fortunate to have so many kind and generous people in our community wanting to help our patients," Ms Gallagher said.

"The Yesteryear Truck and Machinery Club has had a long and generous relationship with Wauchope Hospital and it's very much appreciated."

Mr Cavanagh said the club also donated to the

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Support Group, Rotary Lodge at Port Macquarie Hospital, 2WAYFM radio and Beechwood Rural Fire Brigade.

"The Club thanks the public for patronage of this great Show, which in turn, allows our members to support these other groups," he added.
