motorized scooter for 84 year old Roland Bowd of Warboys. He can now visit

worked in Warboys all his life. |
Trustee Don from Pidley gets his reward for long service -
89 year old Don Johnson was until recently the oldest trustee of the Pidley
Mountain Rescue Team. After his retirement from the team he started to find
it more difficult to get out in an evening to visit the social club for a
game of cribbage and asked the rescue team if they could find him a second
hand motorised scooter (not a new one). This was provided and Don now makes
full use of it, visiting the social club where he can enjoy his evenings
with friends.

Ian Allgood of Leighton Bromswold -
Ian has chronic arthritis and as a result has extremely limited mobility.
His old scooter was deemed beyond repair and this deprived Ian of the
freedom he had been enjoying. In order for Ian to be able to attend the
steam rallies he enjoys so much he needed an all terrain scooter, so Pidley
Mountain Rescue Team bought him a Special Sterling Diamond Scooter with
large wheels and independent suspension. He is now able to attend the
rallies accompanied by his wife Susan. The cost of the scooter was £1,475
with Ian offering to make a personal contribution of £200 towards the cost. |
