I rise today to congratulate the Lamrock Committee on its recent successful fundraising event at Georges River Sailing Club, which I was fortunate to attend on 4 August. The Lamrock Committee has existed for more than 25 years in raising funds to support important works at St George Hospital, which is the main hospital for the St George area and the hospital that most residents of Banks turn to when they need medical attention. Over $8,000 was raised on the night. It was a fantastic event and very well organised, as all Lamrock Committee functions are. Since its inception, as I said, 25 years ago, the Lamrock Committee has raised close to a million dollars for St George Hospital, and this is something that is very greatly appreciated in our community.

I'd like to thank the president, Ros Comino, for all her work on the Lamrock Committee; the vice-presidents, Toni Horsey and Marion Smith; and also the organisers of the trivia quiz itself, Liane and Dan Simpson and Richard and Meg Sheahan, who did so much to make this event so successful. The committee does a range of fundraising events—a golf day every year, fashion parades, high teas and other events that are all about supporting St George Hospital. It's a great committee.
