Club donates to Child Flight

The Sporties Club at Woy Woy presented a cheque for $16,000 to the Child Flight emergency helicopter service on July 20.

The cheque was a result of the club's fundraising efforts throughout the year, including its monthly Child Flight Charity Bowls event.

The club has now raised more than $100,000 for Child Flight over the last several years.

Club publicity officer Mr Ben King said: "On top of the $16,000, we raised a further $3500 on the day, through our normal Score a Schooner and Raffles promotions."

More than 90 bowlers and members attended the special presentation as the club handed over the cheque to Child Flight CEO Ms Cheryl Rose.

The Sporties at Woy Woy will continue its Child Flight Charity Bowls event on the third Sunday of every month.

Mr King said he was encouraging community members of all ages to become involved in the monthly charity event.

"Whether you are a beginner or experienced bowler, this is a great event to become involved in," Mr King said.

"Not only is it a fun day of bowls, but it is also for a very worthy cause."
