A VERY talented and gifted young man, Lester Magoogan of Hastings, has kindly donated a piece of his artwork to be auctioned off in aid of Ringside Rest and Care. Lester, who has Down’s syndrome, put his first show on in 1999 and went on to exhibit in the Tate Modern, The Strand Gallery and The Lowry, and has since exhibited in Siberia, Hong Kong and New York. We all thank you for your extremely kind donation.
