Gala bowling competition The competition was played at Castlehill Bowling Club last week. The gala pairs is always a popular game, which was won on the day by John and Bette Warwick who beat Ian Donnelly and Jim Finton to claim this year’s prestigious 2018 title. The gala queen, Tammy Cunningham, was on hand to hand over the prizes to this year’s winners. Congratulations to all who took part in the competition. Tammy also received a donation from the club for next year’s gala fund and was sincerely thanked for dropping by to present the winners with their awards. Street Level Members of the town’s Street Level group are asking for local residents to cast their votes in time for this year’s Tesco Bags of Help scheme. People can cast their votes and support the local group by placing a blue voting token in the designated area of the Carluke superstore. This will help the organisation to ensure that it receives the maximum grant possible from Tesco to fund the much-needed repairs to its Stewart Street venue. If you are shopping in the Carluke store, please ask a member of staff at the check out for a blue token on behalf of the Street Level management committee.
