I am writing to thank the generous local businesses which so kindly donated prizes for the draw at our Harding House (Abbeyfield Society) Summer Fayre on Saturday, July 2.

Thanks go to The Clipper, which kindly donated a free buffet meal for up to 25 people; Bendaire, which donated a smoke alarm; The Powder Monkey, which donated a meal for two; Bridgehouse Wines, which donated two bottles of wine; The Bayleaf Caf�, which donated tea and cakes for two; Simply Hair, which donated a �20 voucher; Hair Parade, which donated a voucher for a dry cut and The Cooperative Retail Services Ltd. (Magnolia Walk), which donated a �10 gift voucher.

The total sum raised was �668.00, a huge increase on last year.

Many thanks, also, to all those who came and helped us to raise such a large sum. Hope to see you all again next year!
