Ex-policemen bowling along nicely
 They’ll have their work cut out when they start on May 29, because they’ll be playing five ends of bowls against four members from each of the nine other IPA branches. And in between they’ll cover hundreds of miles in a race against time.
On day one they’ll start at Inverness, then move on to Kittybrewster in Aberdeen, Carnoustie, Kirkcaldy and Grangemouth.
“Race night”
They’ll stay overnight in Edinburgh before going to Colinton in the city, then Gretna, followed by Dundonald in Ayrshire before ending up at Kingswood Bowling Club, King’s Park, Glasgow.
The boys will then take part in a “race night” to help raise even more funds.
Organiser Tom Daly said, “We couldn’t have done this without a great deal of help from sponsors. Stagecoach provided a coach and driver. Culduthel Lodge in Inverness and the Hilton Hotel at Edinburgh Airport helped with accommodation. We’re also grateful to Mailboxes, Kingswood Bowling Club, Parks of Hamilton, Menock Builders, Nationwide Building Society, GlaxoSmithKline, Glendinning Builders and the Alishan Tandoori among many others.
“The reason we chose The Sunday Post Appeal was because Les has raised money for CHAS in the past and I consider myself really lucky to have two healthy children. Others aren’t so fortunate.”
The bowling policemen are hoping to raise money along the way at the various bowling clubs.
