Romantic dinner in Wellsford

Around 100 people attended a candlelit dinner at the Wellsford RSA this month to raise money for community causes, including St John cadets and restoration of the Port Albert Hall.

Thanks to generous bids on items up for auction, the dinner raised $6700.

The most popular item auctioned was sandstone road metal.

The “mood lighting” was a result of a power outage, but organiser Tania Hamilton says it was so nice, it will likely be replicated next year.
