Charity day raises $4300
Umina Beach Women's Bowling Club raised $4300 in its annual charity day event on September 15.
President Ms Gwen Jarratt presented a cheque to Ms Barbara Galvin from Shirley's Shuttle, a transport service for local cancer patients needing treatment.
According to club publicity officer Ms Kaye Cavanagh, money on the day was raised through raffles and stalls.
"This year the ladies were down on numbers so they decided to invite the men's club to join us," Ms Cavanagh said.
"The winners on the day were T Murphy, M McHale L Anderson and I Hyde of Umina Beach Men's Bowling Club.
"Second place went to A Tuckcer, P Walsh, E Leggett and F Harper from Everglades Women's Bowling Club and third to V Brownley, T Ward, BJ Osborne and L Williams from Ettalong Women's Bowling Club.
"The two mystery prizes went to teams from the men's club.
"Our men are so charitable that all the money they won was donated back."
