They are looking for people to go along and support their fund raising bingo session on February 25, with ‘eyes down’ at 7pm at The Highwayman in Shrewsbury Road in Oswestry. Cards will be £1 each. A good raffle will also be available.

Oswestry Cancer Buddies organiser Linda Lade said: “We are so grateful to Tyler, Manager of The Highwayman, for once again allowing us to hold another a bingo session. Money raised will go towards funding the group and to support additional sessions in an evening and or at a weekend to make access easier for those that work or can’t make the regular Thursday afternoon meetings.”
