Charity bowls raises $970
Ettalong Bowling Club's charity bowls day attracted 48 bowlers and supporters and raised $970 on Sunday, November 13.
"It was another great day, bringing the money we have raised this year to around $11,700," said organiser Mr Ken Dixon.
"The Wednesday Ettalong Bowlers again chipped in $100 for the food while John Orme's auction of Wazza Lyons' Victoria Station Clock raised another $70. Dave Downey won the auction.
"We came off the green early because of the rain but it was still a pleasant day.
"The Spider was won by Marg Burns.
"We had many winners including Paul Henry, Bob Willis, Marie Haldane and Mavis Bland."
Other winners included Brian Morgan, Vicki Young, and Rhonda Keenan's group which won the lucky rink draw.
"We had two full greens as the zone events were also played on the day.
"Our green space is limited to two greens at present."
Mr Dixon said the money raised would go to Central Coast Kids in Need to assist families who have seriously ill children with prolonged illness.
"Most of these children are cancer patients, others with organ transplants and premature babies with life threatening illnesses."
The next charity day will be held on Sunday, December 11, and then every third Sunday of each month, said Mr Dixon.
