Sixty-six bowlers staged an eight-hour bowling marathon at Strikes in Ely on Saturday, raising a fantastic £4,500 for the CLIC Sargent children's cancer charity.

League bowlers joined customers and staff to take part in the mammoth fund-raising effort, bowling from midnight till 8am.

Some members of staff worked an 11-hour shift for free to make sure the charity bowling effort ran smoothly.

Pictured are some of bowlers who took part in the charity marathon.
