He expressed his gratitude to all those who supported the event, especially those who contributed to the prize pool.

“We have 11 grand worth of prizes, so a tremendous response from the sponsors, given the hard times they’ve been through,” Mr Holland said.

The club has held this event for the past 33 years and has raised over $120,000.

Shepparton Park Bowls Club chairman Kelvin Rogash also thanked the sponsors and expressed his appreciation to Mr Holland.

“I’d just like to say how great a day this is,” Mr Rogash said.

“Ronnie Holland has done a great job organising it, and thanks to Bicknell’s Freight for being a major sponsor for the day.

“It’s a great charity (fund)raising day.

“Each year we run it (and) the funds go to different organisations each time.

“This year it’s going to FoodShare.”
