Our Annual Alex MacFarlane Charity day took place on Sunday 27th May.
        Cambuslang Bowling club  embarked on a special charity day in 1992 after a tragic road accident involving one of our young members, Alex MacFarlane, who died on Boxing Day 1991, aged only 28.  This year was our 27th year and to date this annual event has raised over £59,300. 
The club's charity day itself is one of sadness but also joy as everybody participating knows what it means to the family, the Club and most of all the charities.
Local businesses and friends donate prizes for the raffle each year and we are overwhelmed by their generosity year after year, our thanks go to everyone whose donations make this charity day so successful. The support we receive from Bowling Clubs within and outwith the area cannot go unmentioned. Every year we have bowlers and their friends supporting this charity event and making the day the great success that it is. The MacFarlane family kindly donated a "quaich" which is played for each year and presented to the winning rink.


This year the final was dramatically won 4-3 with the last bowl of the game by a mixed rink consisting of: John Murray, Jamie McInall, Philip McCombes and Skip John McInall.




The runners-up this year and in 2017 were a mixed rink of  Ronnie Plunkett, John MacFarlane Snr, Frank Wilson and Skip David Armstrong





Our sincere thanks to Director Alan Johnston for running the day and Glenda Montgomery for all her hard work behind the scenes which resulted in a total of £1,971.83 being split between local charities Bridgeton Community Learning Campus and The Scope Club, both of which support learning and respite care in the community.


Another special moment on the day was the unfurling of our new flag by Mrs Thomson, in memory of her son past member Colin Thomson.
