Shirley's Shuttle benefits from charity day

Umina Beach Women's Bowling Club held their 2016 Charity Day on September 20.

More than 25 teams from around the district came together to make the day a success.

The day included raffles, tombola, and many goods up for grabs.

Following morning tea the teams descended onto the green for a spider and two games of 13 ends were played.

After a barbecue lunch and more raffles and tombola, the Club announced the recipient of their 2016 Charity Day earnings was Shirley's Shuttle.

Shirley's Shuttle is a shuttle service dedicated to helping cancer patients get to their treatment services.

The service was founded by Ms Barbara Calvin in honour of her mother Shirley, who died from cancer.

The Bowling Club's efforts culminated in a $2800 cheque that was presented to Ms Calvin on the day.
