MANY THANKS PAUL.

The Chestnut appeal has recently purchased two new pieces of equipment. A high definition camera stack,

which will be used to aid surgeons at Derriford with their pioneering keyhole surgery and an ultrasound scanner. Chestnut Appeal manager, Lesley-Ann Simpson says, “It’s brilliant that we were able to buy these pieces of kit.

At £70,000 and £33,000 respectively, they’re not cheap and I would like to thank everyone who continues to support the charity and helping us to make such a marked difference”.  Patients from all over the region will be able to make use of this treatment, which previously, has not been available in the South West.

THE COKER FAMILY SHOW THEIR GENEROSITY ONCE AGAIN!

Thanks must go once again to the Coker family for two further donations.

First of all, Liz Bennett, daughter of Roy and Marguerite Coker, donated the generous amount of £346 raised by donations in lieu of presents at her 40th Birthday Party.

Secondly for money won from a Charity duck race held on the river Sid, where Marguerite picked             NEDPSA. to be the Charity to receive £350.00 in winnings.

What a great family.

FOUR GOLD MEDALS FOR JOHN

John Perratt proved that he is still a top performer and a force to be reckoned with, at the South west Veterans Track and Field Championships.

John won gold medals in all four events he entered, setting new championship records in two of them. In his first event he reduced the championship record for the 500m, then went on to win the 800m, before going on to win the 400m, and finally reducing the championship record for the 1500m from 5:48.9 to 5:35.5

During the course of the championships, John was also presented with the award for the winner of the South west Veterans’  AC Road Racing Grand Prix for the best average age graded per cent over four races.

 You can read John’s story on the members input page John is also our newsletter editor, well he has to do something when he is not on the hoof.

Following another very successful’ Music for Life’ event in Beer, a cheque for £100 was presented to NEDPSA. The 12 hour music festival, held on June 20, raised more than £6,300 for cancer charity FORCE and Children's Hospice South West. Various other local charities, including NEDPSA, Puffins Playschool, Beer Primary School PTFA and Beer WI, also benefited from donations collected on the day. NEDPSA were present at the event with an awareness raising stall manned by Jennifer and David Jannaway. Plans are already afoot for next year's festival, which will be held on Saturday, July 3. Annie Boalch, chairman of the event, said many bands want to play again and others have inquired about joining in with this fabulous event.

Very many thanks to Annie and her hard working committee.
