The former paramedic also has a long association with Limavady Drama Club, Londonderry Musical Society and Portrush Music Society. “I’m disappointed that all Rotary Club events had to be cancelled due to the lockdown. I had organised a President’s Night Dinner Dance for April 18, maybe we can reschedule for September/October when I hope to raise over £1,000 for Foyle Hospice.

“As a retired Health Care Worker, I would say - listen to the Government’s advice, stay at home, stay safe and stay coronavirus free.”
