To all members of Halifax & District Bowling Association
First of all, can I wish you and your members a very Merry Christmas and a happy New year.
As you may be aware our very own Mark Holden is organising a charity event in Mark Jeffreys name to raise awareness and funds for Andy’s man club. It will be known as 21 Andy’s man club 23.
There is a 21-mile sponsored walk over 2 days in St Annes and Blackpool on 1st & 2nd of July.
There will be auctions throughout 2023, raffles and lots of other fund-raising activities to support this.
And also, a bowling event being arranged to be held at Hove Edge in September.
Unfortunately, over the last 4 weeks Mark has had 2 fellow bowlers, who won't be named, come to him needing support, asking how they can get in touch with Andy’s man club to receive the help they require. One of them has already approached Andy’s man club.
It's scary to think people in the bowling world we love, and support are feeling so low in life, they want to take their life.
So as an Association we feel the need to help out the best we can for 2023.
We therefore would like all clubs to try do their bit. Either do something at their club and raise some money or have someone representing their club and take part in the sponsored walk and the Bowling event. Anything to help boost Mark’s tremendous money raising effort.
Mark already has a few wonderful people on board.
You can buy a shirt or hoodie, raffle tickets or donate a raffle prize. Anything to help.
We have Fred Rothwell doing a 100-mile bike race in London. Shawn Frewin doing 3 peaks. Anything you think of that can help.
If you need further help
Ring Mark on 07825295278 or email mark on
Thank you all
Let's do Andy’s man club proud in all their work they do, if we can save a life It’s worth the effort.

Guidance on Sporting Events in National Period of Mourning
MAJOR EVENTS, ENTERTAINMENT & SPORTS
There is no obligation to cancel or postpone events and sporting fixtures, or close entertainment venues
during the National Mourning period. This is at the discretion of individual organisations.
As a mark of respect, organisations might wish to consider cancelling or postponing events or closing
venues on the day of the State Funeral. They are under no obligation to do so and this is entirely at the
discretion of individual organisations.
If sporting fixtures or events are planned for the day of the State Funeral, organisations may want to adjust
the event timings so they do not clash with the timings of the funeral service and associated processions.
As a mark of respect, and in keeping with the tone of National Mourning, organisers may wish to hold a
period of silence and/or play the National Anthem at the start of events or sporting fixtures, and players
may wish to wear black armbands
All our events will go ahead as planned
