W.I. Shirley Askew Trophy

The President of Heversham W. I. writes:
A good bowling night was enjoyed by all on Wednesday 5th July at Heversham B.C. We had sixteen ladies competing and lots of helpers scoring, measuring, tidying up, etc..
Glenis won the Shirley Askew Trophy – she’s a regular player – she plays regularly once a year! Well done Glenis. The evening ended with a real buzz over the refreshments.
Thank you to Karen Hanks, our W.I. Federation Chair for joining us. Also a big thank you to John Smith, our Club Captain, for organising the running of the evening and to Heversham B.C. for welcoming us to this annual event.
Sue Ellis President Heversham W.I..

Congratulations to the winners who were Vera Alderson and Mike Warwick and the runners-up who were Louise and Martin Tomlinson. Many thanks, once again, to our Club Captain, John Smith, for organising the event.

The Green Challenge for
The Christie Hospital

Alan Dunham is raising money for The Christie Hospital. Nine years ago he had a stem cell transplant: now he wants to give something back. What’s he doing? He’s riding his bike to every green in the Kendal Bowling League and then playing on each green for thirty minutes. It involves 150 miles of cycling with a total ascent of 8,000 feet. Our club has kindly made a donation, but Alan also has a just giving page which you can find by copying the following link and pasting it into your browser. www.justgiving.com/page/alan-dunham-167999179836

Alan is seen below wearing the hi-vis jacket with Robin Wharfe from our club.

Update on the Green Challenge.

Dear Bowling Clubs, I’m pleased to let you know I completed my Green Challenge on Wednesday 21st June, having ridden 154 miles, 12,149 feet of ascent and bowling on 30 greens. I really enjoyed myself meeting amazing people, playing bowls and having people ride with me. If you’re interested I have put photographs and updates on my Just Giving page which is best accessed by typing :- Just Giving – search – 1679991798364

Many thanks to you all for making me so very welcome, taking time to open the greens, the offer of refreshments, great bowling and your support and encouragement. I’m very grateful for your generous donations.

Many heartfelt thanks

Alan
