Ninth annual charity day at men's bowling club

Umina Beach Men's Bowling Club held their ninth annual charity day in honour of the late Ron Pursehouse on June 23.

More than 100 bowlers attended the event including representatives from Zone 15 and other clubs on the Central Coast.

Also in attendance was Rugby Union Wallaby legend from the late 1940s, Eric Tweedale, who signed a Wallaby Jersey which had also been signed by Viv Pauli and later auctioned by the club.

All money raised on the day, including green fees, raffle prizes and other auctioned items added up to $7000 and went directly to patient care at Gosford and Wyong Hospitals.

Central Coast Local Health District fundraising and donation manager Ms Jan Richens praised the efforts of the club.

She thanked the club for raising awareness and talking about prostate cancer, which if detected early can make a significant difference to the patient's outcome.
