28th WHEELCHAIR CLASSIC 10th June

The 28th Wheelchair Classic event was held at Helsby Golf Club on Thursday 10th June.

Following an excellent day's golf where the weather was once again very kind, the evening's proceedings  began with presentations of their very own new powered wheelchairs to 4 children from the North West.

Three of the boys (pictured left with Captain, Ladies' Captain and President) are (left to right) Joshua Waywell, Marcus Harrison and Joseph Skinner.

Unfortunately 13 year old Daniel Dobbs from Prenton was poorly and couldn't attend so Eric Malkin - a great friend of Helsby Golf Club PWA from Five Towns Care Centre - was taking his new powered wheelchair directly to Daniel's home.

There then followed presentations to the winners of the golf competition.

Winners of the Men's competition were Denver Brazier & John Burgess and runners up were Brian Kennerley & Shaun Potter.

Winners of the Ladies' competition were Theresa Mann & Cathy Roaf and runners up were Viv Nagle & Val Fletcher.

A special presentation was made by Hamish MacLeod, Chairman of the national Peter Alliss Masters Golfing Society, to Bert Dyson MBE for his outstanding contribution to the Appeal since it began.

More than £16,000 was raised from the 28th Wheelchair Classic all of which goes into the Powered Wheelchair Appeal. Our thanks go out to everyone involved for their hard work and generous contributions.
