sir - On behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support Sidmouth, I would like to thank two local ladies for holding tea/coffee parties during the month of June.

Firstly, Beryl Dray who hosted an afternoon tea party at her home and raised a fantastic amount of �237.

Secondly, grateful thanks to Cathy Osbond of the Art Gallery, who held coffee mornings for a week and raised another great sum of �246.87.

Between them �483.87 came to Macmillan for which we are very grateful.

With many thanks to you both.

Joyce Burnham

Chairman, Macmillan Cancer Support Sidmouth
