SIR –We want to say a huge thank you to all the people who, during the last week, publicised our Macmillan event in Cripplegate Park.

You really did us proud and gave us such a big favour.

Gemma Bate’s article was really clear and encouraged lots of people to come.

We couldn’t believe how many people turned up to listen to the Metz Big Band.

We had a constant queue for refreshments to the doors in the Sons of Rest building for two hours!

The atmosphere in the park was wonderful and everyone seemed to enjoy the music, cakes and sunny weather.

We raised a colossal £424!

We would like to thank you very much for your help and support.

LINDA AND FRIENDS

OF CRIPPLEGATE PARK (Pat, Janet, Jim, Rae and Stuart)
