On Wednesday, 27th April, at Paulton Bowls Club, the Mid-Somerset Bowls Charity cheques were presented to the local Parkinsons and Chrones representatives.

Robin Tanner, Vice-Chairman and Treasurer of the Bath and District Branch of Parkinsons UK, and on behalf of the local branch of Chrones, Trevor Bridcutt, received cheques for £600.

The summer game of bowls is about to start, hopefully, with some sunshine this year and also a new year for the local bowls charity which is supporting the Bath Scanner Appeal and local bowls members who need help.

Over the years, local bowlers have raised over £15,000, all going to very needy organisations.
