And, a newly-appointed committee will be bringing you all the action in the new year.

Chairperson Taya Elphinstone and committee member Cindy Milton said they were looking for interested people to join them in the organisation to make the event all it can be.

Relay For Life encourages people to fight back against cancer by raising awareness and funds.

Miss Elphinstone said they always hope to raise as much money as the previous year, if not more.

However, the women would also like to point out the purpose of the event isn’t merely to fundraise but also to have fun at a great community event.

There will be a planning meeting on Thursday (December 18) at the QEII building in Muswellbrook from 6pm.

All are welcome to attend and see what they can do to help.
