Lostwithiel Bowls Club Captain Jim Rule recently presented a cheque for £1,010 to Judy Lawton, a representative from Cornwall Hospice Care.

The money was raised at the club’s charity bowls tournament held in late August, an annual event organised by Mr Rule.

His thanks go to the club for the use of their facilities, and also to Trewithen Dairies for providing milk and cream, as well as donations of raffle prizes from members of the club.

He says a special mention of thanks should go to the ladies who cooked and served lunches and cream teas during the event.

The winners of the tournament were a team from Bodmin Bowls Club skippered by David Rowe, while the runners-up were a team from Lostwithiel Bowls Club skippered by Len Parsons.
