Royal Exchange Hotel Cork Club
A brief history
The Royal Exchange Hotel (REH) Cork Club was formed in 1973 to raise
money for the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal. It began when
three mates drinking in the bar at the Royal Exchange Hotel decided to do
something for the kids of Victoria.
The sole purpose of the Royal Exchange Hotel Cork Club is to raise money for
this Appeal.
The Royal Exchange Hotel Cork Club quickly grew from these humble beginnings
to become the Premier Fundraising Hotel for the state in 1978. Since then the
Royal Exchange Hotel has won this prestigious award another ten times
including 2004, as well as winning the Top Country Fundraising Hotel 26 times
(including the last 22 in a row). This has enabled us to raise approximately
$938,000. This year the Royal Exchange Hotel is looking forward to raising
another $62,000 to pass the One Million Dollars since 1973.
The tremendous effort is due to a dedicated group of volunteers (both past
and present) who freely give their time and energy for this wonderful cause.
The support of business people and the general public has enabled the REH
Cork Club to raise funds to assist the Hospital with Research and Development
projects, as well as to help purchase state of the art medical equipment.
The REH Cork Club currently raises funds in a variety of ways, including the
following:-
* Craft Market * Santa visits
* Weekly Raffles * BBQ Catering service
* Annual Golf Day * Door Knock Appeal
* Collection Tin activities * Dinner Auction
* Good Friday Family Fun Day * LV Street
Machine Show
* and more
The reputation of the work that the Royal Exchange Hotel Cork Club does for
the Good Friday Appeal not only encompasses the Gippsland area, but all over
Victoria, including Melbourne. Many people who are travelling through
Traralgon will stop in at the Royal Exchange Hotel and have a meal or a
drink, and check out the many awards located around the Hotel showing the
work of the REH Cork Club.
