Bowlers raise record £3000 for charity

Club President Tommy Thompson and Claire Brown of NI Children's Hospice holding the cheque

Cloughey Bowling Club held their annual Children's Hospice Bowling Tournament  on Saturday the 27th September 2008. After what was a very wet bowling season it was nice to end the year with sunshine for the Hospice Event. This event has been held for six years but this year saw a record breaking £3000 being raised. The total raised so far for the Hospice now stands at £17695.50. Credit must go to those who sponsor the event and especially those members who bring this sponsorship money in. We can always rely on Jimmy McClements and the Portavogie Fishermen for a lot of support. The Children's Hospice is a Charity that is well worth supporting.
