SCREEN GIFT
OLD FOLK at a sheltered accommodation unit have a new colour television -
thanks to a businessman and Kettering Round Table.
The anonymous businessman gave the television to Table chairman Richard
Barlow for a worthy cause when he bought a new set. Tablers decided to present
the set to the community room at Castle Gardens in Geddington.
Mrs Barlow handed over the set to warden Mrs Val Wood. The first viewer was
the unit's oldest resident,95-year-old Mrs Bertha Arnold.
Mrs Wood said the set would replace a black and white set presented to the
unit by the Tablers last year. She said the residents of the 20 self-contained
flats in the unit were very grateful.
