HELSBY PWA WINS 2011 YOUR CHAMPIONS AWARD
Nov 2011

FOR the 24th year in a row, the Trinity Mirror/ScottishPower Your Champions gala awards night has honoured the unsung heroes and heroines of the community.

This year’s glittering ceremony took place on Friday night at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Chester and guest of honour was Olympic gold medallist Tessa Sanderson.

The biggest award of the night, for the Champion of Champions, went to the Helsby Golf Club Powered Wheelchair Appeal which has raised more than £1m to provide powered wheelchairs for hundreds of children with disabilities.

The event concluded with a specially made film* about the work of the Helsby Golf Club Powered Wheelchair Appeal which was screened before appeal officials Bert Dyson MBE and Penny Ainsworth were greeted with a standing ovation as they made their way to the stage to collect their Champion of Champions award.
