Over the past year our son, Lee Fiskel, grew his hair and sought sponsorship from family, friends and neighbours to have it shaved off. With their generosity he raised the wonderful amount of £387.10 for The Wishing Well Club.
Lee’s hair was given a close shave at The Istanbul Barbers in Darlington on the 31st August. He wishes to thank them for this and verifying the result with ‘before and after’ photographs.
Relieved to have his long locks cut off at last, Lee found them very annoying especially during the recent heatwave, however, he is not as pleased as his Mum Sue is to have him back to his usual self. The monies raised will be used by The Wishing Well to fund upcoming entertainment, purchase new equipment and part fund future outings.
Lee has been a member of the club since he was 13 years old and eagerly looks forward to the weekly meetings that are held at the Woodham Golf Club on Tuesday’s between 7pm to 9.30pm.
Some of the many activities enjoyed are Disco Nights, Christmas Party, Fashion Show, Summer and Valentine Balls, Bingo and Raffles. A new Pool Table was purchased recently and is a firm favourite of many. Trips to Blackpool, Great Yarmouth, Planet Leisure and Penrith have also been enjoyed although the Pandemic has unfortunately interrupted many of these, but things will hopefully improve soon.
Another successful sponsorship that Lee took part in was a cycle ride to Darlington. He is always on the look out for ways to raise funds and with that in mind, through the Newton News, he would like to ask your readers if they have a raffle prize they would like to donate please, the club will be very grateful.
If you wish to discuss this further, spare some time to volunteer or join this thriving club, Charlotte is the person to contact on 07821 771598.
Lee, we are all very proud of your efforts on behalf of the wonderful ‘Wishing Well Club’, especially your Mam and Dad.
