Presentation to Ayrshire Branch of Parkinson’s UK

Lady Captain, Lesley Duncan, was delighted to present a cheque for £1,445 to the local branch of Parkinson’s UK at their recent monthly meeting in Portland Church hall, Troon.

This fantastic amount was raised by the Ladies Section from the raffle and tombola at their Open Day in April, and from members’ donations at Captain’s Prizes held in August.

Lesley is pictured presenting the cheque to Mrs Jeanette Appleby, Chairperson of the Ayrshire Branch.

Many thanks are due to everyone who contributed to the Captain’s charity in 2011. The money will help Parkinson's UK continue to provide information, support and advice to sufferers of this debilitating disease and their families.
