FRIENDS, family and colleagues of a Holsworthy lad who was badly beaten in an alleged assault on Sunday, October 30, took part in a head shave at the Crown and Sceptre inn on Monday, October 31, to show their support for their 20-year-old friend who suffered a serious head injury. As a result of generous donations, they raised just under £400 for the ward he stayed on at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth.
