On Friday 7th September 2012 Stenhouse Community Bowling Club held their annual charity event and chose to raise money this year for CRY. They raised a wonderful £446.65.

“Our small Bowling Association now only has 4 clubs in it and we run a Charity event each year with 48 ladies playing a bowling competition at the Stenhouse Community Bowling Club and this was held on 7th September 2012. We also have a raffle, a tombola stall and sell Home-baking, Jams & Chutneys and an Arts & Crafts Stall. The men in our Club sold the raffle tickets etc, and looked after us by serving us with tea & coffee.

As I ask the various Clubs to nominate a charity, a decision was only made about 8 days before the event. Mrs Jean Ramage is one of our members and her daughter Shelagh Green is the C-R-Y rep for Edinburgh/Lothians and she supplied us with leaflets, etc.

As the ELPBA don’t have a cheque book, the funds raised were paid into my Club’s bank account and you will see that the enclosed cheque for £446.65 is from Stenhouse Community Bowling Club but the money raised was by the ladies of the ELPBA.

I enclose a couple of photographs which you might be interested in seeing. The usual uniform for playing bowls is Greys & Whites, but on this occasion, we used the colours of your logo – Red & Black.

We all had a lovely day and, thank goodness, the weather stayed fine for us.”
