TAVISTOCK Sir Francis Drake Bowls Club held its annual Ladies’ Charity Day on Sunday.

This year’s charity to benefit is the Tavistock Hospital League of Friends and its chairman, Joy Harrison, and treasurer, Christine Leach, attended the event with Joy giving an insight into what the organisation achieves.

Despite heavy rain during the morning, the skies brightened and the green dried out just in time for play to start shortly after 2pm.  Everyone enjoyed a lovely tea, and gave generous support for the auction and raffle helping to raise a considerable amount for the charity.
