Steve hands over President's Day cheque

This week saw Steve Baker, Andover Bowling Club president, hand over a cheque to Emma and Shirlie of Jacksplace @ Naomi House in respect of the monies raised by Club members on this year's President's Day, which took place on Sunday 1 June.

The cheque was for a fantastic £501, representing the proceeds from green fees on the day, a well-supported raffle and a cake baked by a neighbour of one of our members.

Steve, in handing over the cheque to Emma and Shirlie, said he was 'thoroughly delighted. Jacksplace and Naomi House is a major part of our local community which we have helped support for a number of years. I'm really proud of the efforts and the generosity of our members which we know will assist Jacksplace as it continues its vital work here in Andover.'
