Each year East Hanningfield
Bowls Club holds a Charity
Triples event with the pro-
ceeds going to Hearing Dogs

to increase the funds going to
charity. In our last competi-

since 1998.
This is a great achievement for small club and East Hanningfield would like to thank those
people who have helped to contributed over these past years. Hearing Dogs was launched at
the world Crufts dog show in 1982. Since then they have created over 1,600 life-changing part-
nerships between deaf people and hearing dogs in the UK. There are currently over 750 work-
ing partnerships in the country.
East Hanningfield donation is presented at Hayling Island to Barry and Mel Dillon who
run the Bowling Holidays. Barry and
Mel pass on the donation together
with funds they have raised to the
Hearing Dogs Charity.

Albeit this year's competition was slightly down on numbers everyone enjoyed themselves
and some excellent bowling was witnessed. A big thank you goes out once again to Lesley
and Peter Fautley and Paul Cairns who do a tireless job in the kitchen making and preparing
the meals at our competitions and a big thank also goes out to Debbie Cairns who helped pre-
pare the main meal the day before but was unable to attend and help out due to other commit-
ments. Marking was completed as usual by Steve Killington in between his games and although
there was the odd mistake you cannot blame him (or can you) as he had exhaustive job
throughout the day.
