Christmas seems like it is far behind us, but we at KOAC would like to give a massive thank you everyone who was involved in our online Christmas Auction.

Everyone who made a bid on our items helped to raise as much money as possible. The people with winning bids have all been notified and the last of the items finally sent out this week. We thank each and every one of you and in this case, the online auction proved invaluable in us helping out a good cause just in time for Christmas.

We must also thank the local businesses that so generously donated items for us to auction:

• Oxwich Bay Hotel, Gower
• The Vale Resort, Hensol
• Cottrell Park Golf Club, St Nicholas
• Jones & Jones Photography 
• Langland Bay Golf Club, Mumbles
• Machynys Golf Club, Llanelli

All the businesses that donated items and every single person who made a bid, particularly those who were successful should be proud that they are directly helping great causes, making memories and providing invaluable respite for people suffering with this terrible disease.

Thanks for your continued generosity. Long may it continue in 2019. We have big things planned this year. Watch this space!
