Charity Day benefits Musgrave Park Hospital - Spinal Injury Unit


NRBA were delighted to witness the return of their esteemed club member, John Garvey to the Navan Road on Sunday past. John, who has been off the road since incurring a serious work injury back in October '09, was on hand to accept a cheque on behalf of the Spinal Injuries Unit at Musgrave Park Hospital, Belfast. John has seen at first hand the tremendous work that takes place here and was humbled by the donation from the club. In late February, NRBA and the local Rock Road Club, joined forces to undertake a Charity Bowling Day. The NRBA would also like to take this opportunity in thanking the Rock Road Club for their co-operation in organising the event. Pictured above is the NRBA Secretary, Stephen Smith presenting a cheque to Club Member John Garvey with fellow NRBA Club Members looking on.

Following on from our presentation, Musgrave Park Hospital has been in touch with NRBA. In a letter dated, 19-03-10, the Hospital writes, " Please Pass on our sincere thanks to Navan Road & Rock Road Bowling Clubs for their very generous donation. It is really, really appreciated & will be used for the patients of the Spinal Cord Injury Unit. Thank you for your generosity & thoughtfulness Shiela Nevin, Manager, SCIU, MPH"
