Golf club presents wheelchairs to deserving youngsters

THREE more powered wheelchairs have been presented to deserving youngsters by Helsby Golf Club – bringing the total now presented to 368.
The presentations were made at the annual Black and White evening held by the Towers Lane club.
About 100 supporters of the club’s long-running powered wheelchair appeal were presents, following the dress code of black, white and a touch of red.
They enjoyed an event of food, drink and music – but the undoubted highlight of the evening was the presentation of the wheelchairs.
The deserving youngsters were Alfie Richards, aged six, Jasmine Beadles, aged 15 and three-year-old Vance Parker.
Also present were members of their families, powered wheelchair chairman Steve Cunniffe, lady captain Gill Smith, captain Neil Johnson, president Jim Potter and master of ceremonies Roddy Snedden.
A raffle on the night raised £700 for the appeal.
