On Wednesday 13th September, 28 people gathered to take part in our annual Charity Lawn Bowls Afternoon to raise money for St Peter’s Hospice.

Many attendees had never played lawn bowls before, so members of Canford Bowling Club kindly agreed to offer some coaching at the beginning of the afternoon then gave tips on technique once the games were underway.

Lots of people got to grips with bowls very quickly and were getting shots close to the jack in no time!

Once the games were finished, we retired to the clubhouse for tea, coffee, cake and a raffle before heading home, equipped with a new hobby for some!

We were thrilled to raise £257 for St Peter’s Hospice on the day and would like to thank everyone for their generosity!

Thank you to Canford Bowling Club for allowing us to host the event for free and to the members for their support.

The money is going to a fantastic cause and will enable the Hospice to continue their vital work both at the Hospice and within the community.

We hope to see you there next year!
