A CHEQUE for £200 was presented to Fiona Williams, as a representative of the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, by Linda Gobby on behalf of the short mat bowling section of the Sir Francis Drake Bowling Club.  

The money had been raised over the past year following the payment of fines every time a bowler’s wood hit the wooden block positioned partway down the mat.

Fiona explained the role of the fund in raising money for research into early detection, new treatments and, ultimately, a cure for pancreatic cancer.
