It was with great sadness that the Friends learnt of the decision to close the Adelaide Dickens Fellowship. The Friends have taken great pride in facilitating the donations the fellowship has made to the hospital for purchasing books and equipment over the years. The Friends understand the difficulty in attracting new members and sympathise with the fellowship regarding the need to make the decision to close.

Members of the Friends of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Region Five, gathered at Pinnaroo on Monday for their sixtieth anniversary and conference.

Around fifteen volunteers from Pinnaroo, Tintinara, Lameroo and Meningie gathered at the Pinnaroo Hotel.
