THE Holsworthy, Stratton, Bude and Bradworthy bowling clubs have raised £533 for the Special Care Baby Unit at Barnstaple Hospital.

They raised the money by playing a mixed Top Team Competition on a home and away basis with eleven players in each team and each player paying £2 every time a game was played. The competiton was started by Bob and Di Thomson from Holsworthy in 1997 and over the years, the competition has raised £5,500 for the baby unit.
