During the 2018 season, the Ladies Section of the Bowls Club carried out a variety of fundraising events (Ladies Charity Day & auction, Spider competitions, Ladies League raffles and ‘whisky bottle on bar’ donations) culminating in a total of £1,150 being raised for Tavistock Hospital League of Friends. At the Club’s monthly coffee morning held on Saturday 3 November, the Ladies Captain, Jenny Gilbert, presented a cheque for £1,150 to Joy Harrison, Chairman of the Tavistock Hospital League of Friends. Joy spoke about the work that the League of Friends do to support the hospital and the range of equipment they provide. Their current project, which the Club’s donation will support, is the replacement of all the chairs in the hospital.
