Boating bowlers

Lions support air ambulance charity

On a day, Sunday 11th August, when, alas due to bad weather, there were no balloons aloft in Bristol, members of Bradley Stoke Bowls Club managed to escape to complete a long-prepared outing to Reading, to play on an island in the middle of the Thames. Fry’s Island, also known as De Montford Island, is home to two boatyards, a private bungalow and the Island Bohemian Bowls Club. Access is by boat, so this is possibly the only bowling club that runs its own ferry service, seen above in the photo. After a coach journey and a light lunch, the visitors were cordially received by Island Club members, some of whom are qualified to run the necessary ferry service to gain access to their ground. This special experience added spice to a pleasant afternoon’s play, won by the home team in friendly fashion. After the game, a very sociable time was enriched by a scrumptious tea and jolly banter. The club captain for the day expressed his thanks to the hosts for creating such a happy occasion. For more about Bradley Stoke Bowls Club, visit bsbc.webs.com

PRESIDENT Michael and Lion Ailsa visited the Great Western Air Ambulance’s new operational base at Almondsbury recently to present them with a cheque for £1,030.35. This amount included £780.35 raised at past president Robin Young’s funeral and a further cheque for £250 donated by Bradley Stoke Lions in remembrance of Robin. Thank you to all who donated money in lieu of flowers – Robin would have been so humbled by this response and so pleased that it went to such a worthwhile charity. It is hard to believe, when you recognise the amazing work the air ambulance does for our communities, that this is still a charity depending on people’s good will to donate. Our thanks

to Joe Hughes, their community fundraising coordinator who showed us around the new base and introduced us to some of the crew just before they flew off on yet another mission. Sadly, we bid goodbye to another Lion, Frederic, his wife Xiying and daughter Sophie, as they set off for Japan where Frederic’s work will take him for the next few years. We wish them well and hope they enjoy Japan. If you would like to know more about the Lions, please get in touch with the Bradley Stoke Lions on 0845 8336745 or use the number given below. We would love to hear from you. Lion Ailsa Young Tel: 07737 106836 GENERAL BUILDERS COMMERCIAL & DOMESTIC CARPENTRY CONTRACTORS ALL ASPECTS OF CARPENTRY
