Cancer coffee morning

Stalls sold books, bric a brac, jewellery and hand - made knitted garments, all kindly donated by local residents or members of the group.

A wide range of homemade cakes, jams and marmalades were quick to sell out and they alone raised over 100.

Committee member Elizabeth King said the group hold four fund-raising coffee mornings throughout the year. She said; "Last year we raised over 25,000 through coffee mornings, jumble sales and donations. We've had a good turn-out today from locals who regularly support us."

Between 1973 and 2006 the group have raised 650,000.
