Last Friday, Fred and I had the pleasure of visiting Noel at his home to present him with a commemorative china plate. This records the fantastic fundraising effort that Noel initiated, and maintained with help from Jenny Bloor, Ladies Captain, throughout 2019. Noel himself has undergone surgery for Head and Neck cancer, and felt that raising funds for Headcases would be a fitting way to thank those involved in his treatment, and aftercare. Thanks to his efforts, and the generosity of the committee and members of the club, the sum of £4482.00 was raised.

This presentation should have taken place early last year, but as with many things the pandemic put a halt to it. When the group meets again we will be looking into ways in which the cash can be put to good use for the benefit of patients, hospital staff and carers involved in Head and Neck treatment. We look forward to welcoming Noel to one of our group meetings when they can be safely resumed, and we wish him all the very best for the future.
