Charity bowls raises money for fire appeal

 

The Bushfire Appeal Charity Day at the Woy Woy Bowling Club on Sunday, January 6, has raised more than $4750 towards the State Government Bushfire Appeal.

Member for Peats, Ms Marie Andrews, congratulated the Woy Woy Bowling Club on its spontaneous action in assisting those who have lost their belongings and homes.

The Woy Woy Bowling Club, which is the smallest Club on the Peninsula, is a friendly club with a big and generous heart and this was certainly the case on Charity Day, she said.

A bowling tournament started at 9am and all the green fees and prizes for novelty events were provided by the club.

All the meat for the barbecue lunch and the bread were donated.

A large number of local businesses, other registered clubs and hotels donated prizes for the event, which followed lunch.

"Once again the residents of the Woy Woy Peninsula have responded generously to those in need, on this occasion the victims of the bushfires," Ms Andrews said.

"To the club's board of directors, management, staff, club members and all others who supported the Charity Day, I say a big thank you.

"Your generosity went beyond everybody's expectations."
