Garden Party

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported us on the day, almost 100 again, and those who donated who could not make it. We raised over £850 pounds for the cause, much of which is already pledged to a local group for working with ladies with breast cancer.
Peter Butters won the luxury break in Devon, again! But he did buy an awful lot of tickets; a big thank you to the Highbullen Hotel for their generosity in supplying that 2 night break.

At least the sun shone on us again which helped make it the success it was. Peter
