After an absence of two years due to the restrictions of Covid the Strathaven Friends of HHI were able to hold their annual fund raising Bridge Drive in aid of Health Help International last Saturday.
It was well supported with fifty players from The Strathaven and Hamilton Bridge Clubs taking part. The support of the Hamilton members was particularly appreciated by the SFHHI committee.
Thanks are due to the Board of the Avondale Church which was the venue for the occasion and which provided most comfortable and congenial surroundings and excellent facilities.
The players were fortified for the afternoon’s play by an excellent light lunch provide beforehand by Ian Gow and his helpers.
The successful winners of the bridge were Hamilton visitors Margaret MacFarlane and partner Janet Love and the Strathaven Club’s Margery and Harry Menzies.
The lucky winner of the impressive HHI cake generously donated by Alexander Taylors was Mrs Isobel Calderhead, pictured receiving it from committee member Helen Baird
The excellent sum of just over £1270 was raised for Health Help International to help its efforts towards the purchase of a much needed new Autoclave Machine for the Monze Mission Hospital in Zambia.
