Bowling Club support Mayor’s Appeal
Members of Chesterfield Bowling Club have raised vital funds for the Mayor’s Appeal thanks to the annual charitable Mayor’s Cup Competition held at the historic bowling green on Beetwell Street on Wednesday 22 August 2018.
Bowling club president Bob Meakin presented a cheque for £350 to the Mayor of Chesterfield, Cllr Stuart Brittain, who also competed in the fund-raising competition. The Mayor’s Appeal this year is supporting two local charity projects:- Chesterfield Citizen’s Advice Bureau, and Ashgate Hospicecare’s Sponsor a Nurse.
For the second year running, the winner of the prestigious Mayor’s Charity Cup was bowling club member, Geoff Mitchell. The cup was originally presented to Chesterfield Bowling Club by a former Mayor of Chesterfield, W B Taylor, in 1944, and has been competed for ever since over the last 74 years.
