Regulars and first-timers filled the bazaar to celebrate the milestone, attendees received a gift and enjoyed the cake and scones.

Long-time volunteer Shirley Chittick said it was amazing the bazaar had been going so long.

"It's pretty good, I think it's a record and I don't know of too many places that have kept going continuously that long."

"I've been continually doing this job for 30 years really.

"I love the morning teas, meeting people from the community and seeing lots of friends that come in regularly."

The bazaar is held on the first friday of every month with the first bazaar being held in 1964.

The markets began when a committee, under the leadership of Rev Lloyd Manning, started to work towards establishing an aged persons village to serve people in the Shoalhaven Community.

Their fundraising was successful and in October 1987 they opened up the first section of the Shoalhaven Aged Persons Home, now operating as Uniting.

As the fundraising continued, the retirement village continued to expand and now the bazaar continues to raise money for other missions.
