OVER £4,000 has been raised in recent weeks to help keep Lochgelly Bowling Club in business.

As reported previously by the Times, a fundraiser was launched last month as the club's committee revealed rising costs meant the facility was looking at closure if urgent funds were not found.

Since then, a JustGiving page has collected more than £4,300 with other events also held to help keep the 128 year-old organisation afloat.

A post on Facebook from the club said a "huge thank you" for all the support received so far.

"To everyone who has donated we thank you all!" it said.

"The community of Lochgelly and friends and supporters of the club has been phenomenal and we hope to see you in the club in the future! No words will ever be enough for what you have all done for us in such a short amount of time!"
