"There was also a formal presentation by Mount Panorama Lions to Bathurst Base Hospital of a cheque for $53,000, which was accepted by acting general manager of Bathurst Health Service, Peter Campos," Mount Panorama Lions publicity officer Jon Maclean said.
"The funds will be used to purchase much-needed screening equipment for the hospital."
He said more than 50 stalls took part in the markets "and many of the stallholders remarked on how well they had done and how they enjoyed being back again".
