 THE KENT ZIPPERS TEAM DO IT AGAIN

The Zippers Bowling Association played a second charity game against Folkestone Outdoor Bowls Club last Saturday and succeeded in beating the home team 104 - 100.  This was followed by a BBQ which ended a most enjoyable day for all.The sum of £354.00 was raised which will go towards cardiac units and rehab units for equipment they may need. Again this year Zippers Bowling Associaltion had a very profitable year and £24,500.00 was made available for donations to hospitals up and down the country. Our share in Kent resulted in cheques being presented to the Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mother Hospital in Margate for £2,444.00, William Harvey Hospital, Ashford for £900.00. Two payments were also made to rehab units in Ramsgate and Folkestone for £1,150.00

The Zipper’s Bowling Association was founded in 1996 for bowlers that have heart problems. Any bowler who has had invasive heart surgery, key-hole surgery, a stent or new value put in, or had a pacemaker fitted can be invited to become members. Membership, by invitation, is now well in excess of 250 and consists of both ladies and men from over 30 counties who play bowls - both inside and out. Members are invited from Bowling Associations or clubs who are willing to host a Charity Day. Since the founding of the Association, over £125,000 has been raised to provide equipment for cardiac, coronary care units and rehabilitation centres,  in over 60 hospitals around the country.  The Zipper’s Bowling Association raised over £24,500 nationwide during the past year. The monies raised are then awarded to Cardiac Units around the country.
