OLYMPIAN ANGUS

Angus Pirrie, who lives on Garth Avenue has been selected for the Special Olympics Wales, indoor bowls team to take part in the Summer Games being held in Leicester in 2009.

I was surprised, even shocked, to find out that Angus has to pay £550.00 for the honour of representing Wales at this international event. He has to pay for his food, his accommodation and even his sports kit. The Special Olympics oath is “Let me win but if I cannot win let me be brave in the attempt”. I would like to challenge everyone in Glyncoch. Let us raise the money Angus needs, and if we cannot raise it all, let us be brave in the attempt.
