Congratulations to Barbara Donaldson of Porirua who won the Patrick Bonner painting raffle which was drawn on 31 May. By chance Barabara was in New Plymouth on Queens Birthday weekend to collect her prize, presented to her by Mike Hareb, president of Surfing Taranaki and Allen Pidwell, VP of Surfbreak Protection.

The raffle was run jointly by Surfing Taranaki and Surfbreak Protection, however Surfing Taranaki has kindly allocated its share of proceeds (approx. $750 was raised) to Surfbreak Protection.

The Society would like to thank both Patrick Bonner and Surfing Taranaki for their generous contributions.
