The annual end of season charity bowls matches played between Purnell, Paulton, Norwest, Prattens and a combined Frome Selwood and Frome Park teams have raised a fantastic £1,612 this year.

Over the years, these games have raised thousands of pounds for deserving local charities. This year’s recipients are P.A.C.E, a charity based in Frome that provides a weekly social activity day for those who are physically disabled, enabling their carers a days respite.

Our thanks go to all the clubs and their members who take part every year for this worthy cause, also all the unseen helpers who organise the event, provide the refreshments and organise the raffles etc. T.Gardiner
