Vintage fair a success
The vintage country fair organised to raise funds for charity by the Waimalri Lions Club, achieved its target of $13,500, according to the club’s president, Mr B. Dray.
However, the exact figures were not yet known, he said last evening. The Lions set the goal to enable them to help provide various facilities for three local organisations. One, a $3OOO "vitreous gobbler” machine for the eye department of Christchurch Hospital’s clinical school is expected to be delivered from the United States in two months. The machine is: about the size of a fountain pen, and will be only the second in the country. The Lions also plan to give $5OOO to help furnish the newly-built Bishopdale Community Centre—the centre has already raised ssooo’ itself—and to make a grant
to the Society for the Intellectually Handicapped to add to the $3lOO already raised by the society for a new $B5OO mini-bus.
