Two members of a Frome bowls club will be rolling up their sleeves – and rolling out their bowls – for a 24-hour marathon in aid of the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
Frome Selwood Bowling Club’s Ladies’ Captain Kathy Kingman and Club Secretary Mike Bishop will play two back-to-back 12-hour bowls sessions on 23rd and 24th May, running from 9am to 9pm.
Spectators and supporters are invited to attend throughout the weekend to support the pair or have a go at playing bowls on the club’s spare rinks, with a suggested donation to the fundraising pot.
Kathy said, “We’re thrilled to be taking on this challenge for such an important local charity. We’d love to see the community come out and support us whether that’s cheering us on, buying a raffle ticket or picking up a bowl and giving it a try.”
The clubhouse bar will be open for most of the day, alongside hot drinks and snacks from the kitchen.
Kathy added, “There will be plenty of ways to get involved and contribute, with donation forms available on the day, a bumper raffle and a ‘Guess How Many Bowls’ competition, with all proceeds going directly to the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.”
Frome Selwood Bowls Club is located adjacent to Mary Baily Playing Field. For more information, contact club secretary Mike Bishop on mike.bishop@fromeselwoodbowlsclub.org or 07970 000773, or Kathy Kingman on 01373 463085.
