Billingshurst bowlers stage marathon day to raise funds
Billingshurst bowlers Alan Readshaw (Treasurer), Alan Knight (Vice Captain) and Barry Gilbert (Chairman and Club Captain) completed an eight-hour marathon bowls challenge.
There was great support from many of the members who came along to play.
The first couple of hours went by quite slowly, but cheered on by the appreciated crowd the day went quite quickly.
All money raised will be going to the new clubhouse fund and other improvements to facilities the club are planning.
