 Phil Pemble, the local chairman said, “On behalf of the charity I was delighted with the generosity shown by both Bees and Bedford supporters. Every penny we raised on the afternoon will be doubled by Spoon nationally so a fantastic result all round. I am also particularly pleased with the value placed by the club in helping others less fortunate in the community, such partnerships with the charity are clearly of benefit to everyone.”
Having previously supported Lode Heath School in Solihull, the charity hopes to donate much needed playground equipment to Reynalds Cross special school in Shirley. 14 year-old Ryan Llellewyn, a pupil at the school, was chosen as mascot for the day and thoroughly enjoyed his special day along with his family. Pertemps Bees president Brian Marshall who extended the invite commented, “As any business in the heart of the community, it is important to nurture relationships that are of mutual benefit. I believe that as our chosen charity, any association with Wooden Spoon can only have a real positive effect for the club.”
