Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

5th February 2009

On the evening of Tuesday 27th January 2009, members of the St John’s Church Men’s Fellowship visited our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ, kindly donating £21.00, with a promise to raise a donation for the team.

Today our Team Leader, Garry Rhodes MBE, received a very kind letter of thanks from Tom Foster on behalf of the St. John’s Church Men’s Fellowship.
In the letter Tom Foster stated “I want to take the opportunity, on behalf of all our members at St. John’s Church Men’s Fellowship, to thank you and your colleagues for the great evening spent at your HQ. You made us feel so welcome and we all appreciated that.”

Tom went on to say “Before visiting we had heard of the team but in no way were we aware of the fantastic support you give to so many other agencies. Everyone was amazed at the amount of equipment you have and the expertise required to use it all.”

Tom Foster ended his kind letter by promising us a £30.00 further donation is in the post, along with a confirmation that the members of the St. John’s Church Men’s Fellowship are indeed going to donate the proceeds of their annual bowling event to the team in late summer. (as we are invited to this perhaps we should start getting our bowling team together, including our Chairman Ken Oakes who by all accounts is a bit of a champion on the green)
