Charity Day in aid of
The Donkey Haven Charity
Raises £1022

This year’s Charity Day took place on Saturday 8 August and was a fantastic day.

The weather in keeping with our summer this year was fine and warm. We raised £1022 in aid of The Donkey Haven Charity, a locally based charity that provides a retirement environment for donkeys.

Twelve teams of three entered and each played five matches of four ends against other teams. The teams, who were all non bowlers, came from Holsworthy and the surrounding area. Pictures of the day can be seen in our gallery page and on our face book page.
The winners this year were captained by Barry Parrish a former Portreeve of Holsworthy.

The competing teams were supported by mentors from Holsworthy Bowling Club. A very big thank you to all the members of HBC who supported the day in donating food, raffle prizes, mentored and marked the players score cards, served the lovely lunch, ran the bar and sold raffle tickets. The matches were organised by our Men’s Captain Dave Webb and the event was opened by Kim Harris Bowls England President.

An extra special thanks go to the sponsors of the event, to local companies who donated prizes and to Julie Brown for organising such a super and successful day. Many of the Teams who played are already looking forward to next year’s event!

Holsworthy 57 Yelverton 55
It was good to welcome Yelverton back, after a good few years, for a friendly. The weather was temperamental and cold although the rain mostly held off with just steady mizzle at times.
The match could not have been much closer, after three rinks had finished the score was tied at 55 each. The last rink was running a little behind the others so their last end was effectively going to decide the result. Holsworthy were holding one with the shot wood and the very last wood came into the head and gave the home team the two shot victory.
After the match all adjourned to the clubhouse for a much needed cup of tea, biscuits and some delicious lemon drizzle cake made by one of the Holsworthy members
All agreed it had been a very enjoyable day.

Great news, Kim Harris, is now the President of bowls England.

 Holsworthy members would like to send our congratulations to Kim,  and wish her all the best in the coming year.

It is great for Holsworthy Bowling Club, to have the President of Bowls England (Kim), as a member of our club.

( no need to curtsy when you see her 😂😂😂😂)
