We have just beaten last year’s record takings with nearly #3200. Congratulations and gratitude to everyone who has helped in any way. In addition, we shall be sending the Royal British Legion over #1500 from the funds raised at our Trafalgar 200 Village Celebration on 29 October. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible, with practical help and financial support. In memory of Guy Whalley, one of the organisers, who should have played a key part in the event but who died suddenly the day before, we sent #200 to the British Heart Foundation out of our surplus.
