SFHHI Bridge Drive

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.

The committee is grateful to all who attended the event and to the many others who contributed to its success by their generous donations.

Thanks are due also 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 SFHHI committee member Ian Gow and his team of helpers.

Local baker Barry Taylor generously donated an impressive ‘HHI’ cake for the lucky ticket winner, one of the Hamilton members, seen in the photo receiving it from committee member Helen Baird.

The excellent sum of just over £1270 was raised which will go to Health Help International to help its efforts towards the purchase of a much needed new Autoclave Machine for the Monze Mission Hospital in Zambia.
