Ladies & Gents,
Every year the Ayrshire President choses a nominated charity. President Colin Milroy this season has decided to nominate Ayrshire Hospice as his chosen charity for season 2023.
Colin contacted Ayrshire Hospice to arrange for a couple of collection boxes to be available throughout the season. Colin also thought it may be a good idea to contact our Clubs to see if they would be willing or interested to support this charity with a bar collection box or any other means of collection.
The Fundraising manager at Ayrshire Hospice is Graeme Hawthorn and would gladly chat to any club willing to help.
He would love to be able to launch an initiative with all the bowling clubs in Ayrshire and if this is a venture your club might be interested in then he would be happy to have a chat with you if you wish to contact him on the number below.
