British Heart Foundation

In March 2006 the British Heart Foundation Glasgow Cardiovascular Research Centre in Glasgow University opened a  Clinical Investigation Unit in Alex MacFarlane's memory. 

The club's charity day itself is one of sadness but also joy as everybody participating knows what it means to the family, the Club and most of all the charity.

Local businesses and friends donate prizes for the raffle each year and we are overwhelmed by their generosity year after year, our thanks go to everyone whose donations make this charity day so successful

The support we receive from Bowling Clubs within and outwith the area cannot go unmentioned. Every year we have 96 bowlers and their friends supporting this charity event and making the day the great success that it is. The MacFarlane family kindly donated a "quaich" which is played for each year and presented to the winning rink.

The day is hectic with preparations starting around 7.30 am. then Harry Faulds the "master of ceremonies" kicks off proceedings at 10 o'clock informing everyone which charity will benefit from the days fundraising.  Glenda and Jim Montgomery then swing into action cajoling everyone for their £'s as the tombola board swirls and swirls all day. At the days end the trophy is presented to the winning team followed by the presentation of the cheque to a representative from the nominated charity.
