BALLINA HOSPITAL AUXILIARY The 2nd North Coast Classic Motorcycle Show and Swap will be held on Sunday 20th February at the Alstonville Showground. It is a charity event in aid of the Ballina Hospital Auxiliary, and we are catering for the show. Last year was very successful and we are all looking forward to this year. We are purchasing a new Cardiac Telemonitoring system which will be an asset to the hospital and to any patients requiring cardiac monitoring. We purchased the original system some 16 years ago so this new addition will be really up to date. The cost will be $106,000 which we have already raised, so we are now hoping that 2022 will be a good year for our future fund raising to enable us to save for the hospital’s future wish lists.
