Open
Mixed Rinks Tournament....Charity Fun Day
£800.26 |
| This year we were
blessed with glorious sunshine and what a fabulous day this turned
out to be. |
 |
This is an open competition in the
true sense of the word!
Non-bowlers and families are very welcome and
all that's asked is they wear flat shoes |
|
Although this year we had
problems
as some of them were too wee to
hold the bowls!
So they just ran
around
enjoying themselves! |
 |
| Every team has
at least one bowler who keeps the rest of the team right - but the
aim is FUN! |
|
Thanks to the generosity of
every team the event, tombola and raffle raised £800.26p
for Woodburn House Nursing Home. |
| Thanks go to Directors Ian Skillen,
David Barnett & Terry Connolly for all their great work |

Open Mixed Rinks Tournament....Charity Fun Day
£1260 |
Rain rain and
more rain made this difficult for the organisers but they came
through it and a great (but wet) time was had by everyone. The clubhouse
once again, like last year, was full to capacity..........
 This
tournament is unique in that most teams are made up of bowlers
and non-bowlers...many throwing a bowl for the first time!
But that is what also makes the day so special. This brainchild of
Director Ian Skillen looks like being a permanent fixture in our
bowling calendar. Every team donated prizes which resulted in a
bumper raffle with just about every table having a winner!
Sandwiches were a plenty, biscuits, crisps, barbequed chicken legs
and hamburgers along with a few drinks! Bowling...oh
yes it was a bowling tournament.. and the two section winners were
the McArthur & Russell teams. A well fought fun final ( see
photo!!) finished 5-4 to the Rusell team..Tom McNee, Jimmy
Russell, Nancy McDonald & Mary Russell |
| The driving force for this tournament is Director
Ian Skillen who on behalf of his wife Maureen runs the day along
with his team, Secretary Dave Barnet, Directors Terry Connolly,
Harry Faulds and Lady past president Cathie Meikle to raise funds
for good causes. This year a sum of £1260
was raised and
that will be shared between the Rodger Park Nursing Home and the
cancer charity 'Maggies centre'.
THANKS everyone.....see you all next
year! |

Our Charity fun day raised the grand total of £1,286
The committee, members and local residents got together to
organise the fun day to raise cash for the Woodburn House
Alzheimer's unit at Rodger Park Nursing Home.
There was plenty of fun & games with 96 players and
non-players taking part in the charity match. There were
also prizes galore with raffles, tombolas and competitions. The
day was rounded off with a barbeque and sing-along in the
clubhouse.

Director Ian Skillen, whose wife is a patient in Woodburn
House, was overwhelmed by the community spirit involved in
making the day possible. He said " The staff at
Woodburn House have been trying to organise day trips for
the patients and have found that it is very expensive. The
president and Directors got together to organise a
fundraiser to help and it turned out to be a great day. Both
the club's President Alex Latimer and Secretary David
Barnett worked really hard with the committee to make the
day possible. The cheque was handed over to senior sister
Nancy Lawrence.
October 18th 2003
Our prizegiving
evening was followed by a very successful race night which raised £365,
this money will be given to
Woodburn House
Alzheimer's unit at Rodger Park Nursing Home.
This
donation added to the money raised at our fun day gives a grand
total for 2003 to £1651
