The Charity Open Day on Sunday May the 26th 2024 was to encourage new bowlers to have a taster of playing bowls and to raise some funds for two local charities – Burnham Area Rescue Boat, BARB. and Friends of Burnham-on-Sea War Memorial Hospital once again.
Although the day was almost a complete washout this year with the very heavy rain, many turned up and we raised almost £400 with the club rounding the figure up. Lots of visitors enjoyed the experience, even though they and many club members had soggy socks and shoes by lunchtime.
There are far too many people to thank individually for their great effort and contributions made before and on the day.
Don Bridges Chairman, and Richard Luscombe, President of Burnham on Sea Bowling Club. Can be seen presenting a cheque for £200 to BARB’s Treasure Graham Holdsworth at the rescue station late in August.
Another £200 cheque was delivered personally by the Chairman to Mrs Ceri Joyce Chairman + Publicity Marketing officer of Friends of Burnham-on-Sea War Memorial Hospital earlier in the month.
