About 30 years ago, it came to the attention of some of the Clerwood residents that a young person living there would benefit greatly from having an electric wheelchair. Several residents got together and organised a Race Night in the Capital Hotel.
This proved to be a huge success as not only residents but local businesses supported the event which raised enough to buy the chair outright and to pay for the maintenance for a year.
The power of communities helping each other.
