Hull City Player Visits New Sporting Area
Hull City player Andy Dawson has visited a Cottingham care home to help launch a new relaxation area which has a sporting memorabilia theme.
He signed a Hull City shirt to add to the display in the new “sit out” area at the HICA Group’s Overton House home at The Garth, Cottingham.
Overton House Manager Kerry Shepherd said: “Many of our residents are keen on sport so we are confident that this new sporting area will be very popular. There’s some strong support for Hull City, so we are all delighted that they were the first club to visit. We will also be inviting players from Hull’s other top sports teams in the future.”
The relaxation area features sports channel broadcasts, darts and indoor bowls, and displays of sporting memorabilia such as match programmes, photographs, footballs, rugby balls and team shirts.
The area has been created as part of a major refurbishment being carried out at Overton House, which will result in 40 en suite bedrooms, the creation of open plan living and reception areas, cinema and reminiscence rooms, and a hair and beauty salon.
Due to be completed by late Spring 2010, the work will also feature a residents’ kitchen, pet run, potting shed, library area, quiet lounge and refurbished dining room.
