Bowls day for hospital cancer units

Former Umina Beach Men's Bowling Club president Mr Ian Jarratt is encouraging other men's bowling clubs on the Central Coast to get involved in the Ron Pursehouse charity day.

Six years ago after the passing of Umina Beach Bowling Club life member Ron Pursehouse, the men's club initiated an annual day to raise funds for Central Coast Health that supports the cancer service units at Gosford and Wyong Hospitals.

Ettalong Memorial Men's Bowling Club and Everglades Men's Bowling Club also joined in the fight against prostate cancer.

These clubs have now raised in excess of $40,000 for Central Coast Health with every cent raised spent on lifesaving equipment at the local hospitals.

Wamberal Men's Bowling Club and the Central Coast Past Presidents Association have also made independent donations to Central Coast Health in the past year.
