Two years ago Daniel Beeston, a keen young bowler from Prees, tore the cruciate ligaments in his knee. Daniel spent many painful weeks in the Alice Ward at the Oswestry Orthopaedic Hospital and is now fully recovered. Daniel wanted to say a big thank you for the wonderful treatment and care he received at the Hospital. He also wanted to help raise some funding for shelters at Prees Bowls Club where he plays his bowls. With the help of his mother Jane and friend Jan Brain, a ‘Bowlathon’ was arranged over two days in August at the Prees Cricket and Recreation Club. This raised the wonderful sum of £500 which was split between the Bowls Club and the Hospital. Daniel can be seen here presenting the cheque for £250 to ward sister Susanne Marsden and Physio Claire Eveson at the Hospital and £250 to Brian Hickson, the Prees Bowls Club Chairman. Well done Daniel and all who helped or took part
