I WOULD like to take this opportunity through your columns to thank everyone who took part in our very successful abseil on Saturday, December 9, down the side of Marks and Spencer for much-needed money for Cancer Research in memory of my late husband Andrew.

I would especially like to thank The Edge Outdoor Activities which gave its services free; Marks & Spencer manager Adrian Lowe, who hosted the event, and also fed and watered everyone who helped; and St John Ambulance and everyone who sponsored those who abseiled.

COUN BARBARA WILLIAMS, Martley.
