The Annual Glen Innes Motor Trader’s Ambrose will hold a three person ambrose with all its proceeds of the day to update the heating system in the clinic situated on the northern end of King Edward Park.

Motor traders president Max McConnell said on visiting the clinic he realised that the facility was in desperate need of upgrades for the comfort of the public and staff.

“I saw the poor conditions when I was having an immunisation shot and wanted to help to make it nice for the kids and easier to work in,” he said.

The Glen Innes Hospital Auxiliary has been a continued supporter of the clinic and the golf day will also receive support from the Lions and Lioness Clubs in addition to Hunter New England Health.

Glen Innes Health Service Manager Cathryn Jones said support from local community organisations is always welcomed, especially for projects such as assisting with the refurbishment of the local Early Childhood Clinic.

“The process of painting and updating equipment in the clinic is going well. We are wanting to upgrade the facility for the benefit of the community and staff,” she said.

“The health service has purchased a new examination bench for the clinic and painting will take place in the near future. The Hospital Auxiliary has already purchased two new change tables and will be replacing the existing chairs in the waiting room.”

Members of the public are encouraged to take part in the event whether they are parents, grandparents or just golfers up for a game. The day will be at a price of $15 per person in teams of three with sign in prior to the 9.30am tee off.
