Janet Cattier, 9 years old
The Daily Express 1961 continued
And after the successful concert
Came a report from doctors
And education experts who saw
Once useless limbs and stifled lungs
Producing fine and beautiful music and more!
Among them, at vice president,
Dr. Helen Watson's invitation,
Was the Borough Medical Officer of Health.
Dr. Watson summed up the work of the club,
Saying that besides the obvious physical advantages,
Mentally it was important "because it makes the players
Feel they have a place in society, gives them contact with others,
And helps them overcome any feeling of frustration
Because they are not able to do what others can do."
And during that Christmas,
The children had a special surprise,
A television was lent to them
By a Walthamstow firm, who had just become wise,
And they settled down to watch
Their own recorded television performance
In the BBC's Children's Magazine.
By this time the club felt
It was ready to help outsiders.
Mr. Lyon wrote to the Matron
Of Dr. Bernardo's Homes in Woodford Bridge,
(Where I once lived - 69 Uplands Road)
And arranged tuition for some of
John Capel Hanbury Hospital for children.
