They can of course do with it what they will, but when Martin Maynard and Peter White received their cheques, they both chose to donate them to the Joan Seeley Pain Relief Fund, which is now in its 33rd year, and has done sterling work over those years supplying much needed equipment to many hospitals and specialist units. Colin Seeley was on hand to receive the donation from the NOC’s Barry Owen, at the Stafford Show.
