The release of hundreds of balloons on Saturday signalled the start of the second annual J and J Fun Day, a community event to raise awareness of suicide.
The J and J Fun Day is an initiative launched last year as a response by families impacted by suicide, tragedies which are increasingly the focus of awareness campaigns and measures to support people at risk and their families.
The J and J Fun Day drew several hundred people to Narrabri Bowling Club for the event.
“The day went really well,” said publicity spokesperson for the day, Amy McCauley.
There were 26 teams, ranging in number from four to many more, who took to the greens in bare feet.
A meeting of the organisers will hear the final results of the day this week.
Funds were raised through entry fees for the teams, a gold coin donation and a big auction of goods donated by local businesses.
