Our Annual Alex MacFarlane Charity day took place on
Sunday 26th May.
Cambuslang Bowling
club embarked on a special charity day in 1992 after a tragic
road accident involving one of our young members, Alex MacFarlane, who
died on Boxing Day 1991, aged only 28. This year was our 28th
year and to date this annual event has raised over
£60,000
The club's charity day itself is one of sadness but also joy as
everybody participating knows what it means to the family, the Club and
most of all the charities.
Local businesses and friends donate prizes for the raffle each year and
we are overwhelmed by their generosity year after year, our thanks go
to everyone whose donations make this charity day so successful. The
support we receive from Bowling Clubs within and outwith the area
cannot go unmentioned. Every year we have bowlers and their friends
supporting this charity event and making the day the great success that
it is. The MacFarlane family kindly donated a "quaich" which is played
for each year and presented to the winning rink.
This year the final was won by Peter Aitken, John Mitchell, Robert Carol and William Aitken
The runners-up this year were Willie Anderson, Eric Donaldson, Kenny Harkin and Jack Donaldson
Our sincere thanks to Director Alan Johnston for running the day and
Glenda Montgomery for all her hard work behind the scenes which
resulted in a total of
£1,577 for the Scottish Based chartity
