Charity bowls day held
More than 100 bowlers attended the third annual Ron Pursehouse Memorial Charity Day at Umina Beach Bowling Club in June.
The event was introduced 12 months after the death of club stalwart and life member Mr Ron Pursehouse, according to bowls coordinator Mr Steve Stead.
"After a game of bowls, prize winners were announced and the men's bowling club president Ian Jarratt introduced Colleen Stevens from the Cancer department of Gosford Hospital.
"After a brief talk to the members, Ian announced that the day had raised in excess of $2000 which makes the men's club donation to Gosford Hospital for research into men's prostate cancer almost $9000 over the past three years.
"Betty Pursehouse thanked everyone for their support of this worthwhile annual event and said that Ron would be honoured to be remembered in this fashion."
