Despite concerns at the overcast weather on Monday, organisers Pat and Bert Hague said attendance was comparable to other years.

Club members tended stalls, which included jewellery, china, bric-a-brac, cakes, books, plants, and a bottle tombola.

Some 23 prizes for its grand draw were donated by local businesses.

During the 40 years it has been running the Bonanza, the Bowling Club has given �50,000 to local charities such as SVS, which operates Twyford House.
