Honeydew Bowling Club raises R7 500 for SAGDA
Honeydew Bowling Club honours one of their own with a memorial tournament and attracted 72 players.
Honeydew Bowling Club held a memorial tournament in honour of Allen Lewis-Williams who passed away at the age of 60 in 2011.
Allen was a dearly loved member of the club. The Tournament was initiated in 2013 by his brother Joss. Now in its 10th year, it attracts bowlers from various clubs in the area to take part in this annual tournament.
A total of 72 players took part in this year’s event and while the teams were focused – as they enjoyed the glorious sunshine and the special comradery between bowlers – there were some tense moments as the games came to a close.
The winning trophy was won by a Honeydew Bowling Club team consisting of Ian Butchart, Rob Jackson and Frank Glodek and was presented to them by Natalie Austen, niece to Allen Lewis-Williams.
Every year, funds raised at the tournament are donated to the South African Guide Dog Association, a charity close to Joss’s heart. This year’s event raised R7 500 which was awarded to Pieter van Niekerk – head of public relations at SAGDA.
