Shirley Neighbourhood Care has been lucky this year to be chosen as the Spring Park Bowling Club Charity for 2026. The Lady Captain of the Club, Rosemary, is a long standing volunteer for SNC and can often be seen at our Lunch Club.

As part of the fundraising activities, they held a Charity Bowling event on Sunday 7^th June and there were a few SNC volunteers there, including our Chair, Barbara, who confesses to not being the best at Lawn Bowling! It was a great afternoon, just £3 to enter, with 6 challenges to take part in and some great prizes for the winners, plus free teas and home made cakes which were lovely. The finale was ‘Hit the Spider’ and Janet a Bowling Club member, and a SNC volunteer was lucky to win the prize of a fruit hamper. Well done Janet.

It was a great afternoon and if anyone is interested in joining the Spring Park Bowling Club their website is Spring Park Shirley Bowling Club, Croydon or call 0208 654 2636. They have Taster Days so do get in touch with them if you are interested.

Thanks again to Rosemary and the Bowling Club for your support in 2026.
