On Boxing Day Harrow Borough football club played a Southern League south division match against our friends at Hendon F.C. Tanglewood was chosen to be the recipient of a charity collection at the match. At half time my Karen walked around the pitch with some people from the Borough collecting lose change and, in some cases, notes. Fortunately and as it was a local derby, the attendance was very good – 360 I am reliably informed, as a result a total of £160 was collected. On behalf of Tanglewood I would like to thank those who organised the collection and to everyone who contributed. The picture shows our club members receiving the donation at club On January 8th.
It is with much sadness that I have to report that Ken Towns has passed away. Ken had been involved with Harrow Mencap and their Gateway clubs for over 40 years. He was involved in the setting up of their monthly market at Gateway House and was instrumental in setting up their “Special Olympics” sports activities. He was also the invaluable odd-job man and also looked after their mini buses. He died on January 4th aged 96. Our sincere condolences go to his wife Sylvia who is pictured below with Ken.
