WE would like to thank everyone who supported the events staged during October to fundraise for Thrombosis UK.

Without the generosity of local businesses and individuals who gave money, draw prizes, time and energy, the events would not have been so successful.

The total amount raised was £2,000 which has been forwarded to the charity in memory of Matthew Collom and Stephen Dent who both passed away suddenly, unaware that they had this condition.
