ON behalf of the Supporters of Ashton Gardens committee I would like to thank all the kind people who gave their time and energy to help out at the Ashton Gardens fun day on August Bank Holiday Monday (Aug 31).

They are too numerous to mention individually, but without them organising it would have proved a difficult job. Some gentlemen came early in the morning and stayed throughout the day - their aid is deeply appreciated.

Thank you also to everyone who came to support us, I feel we all enjoyed it and we are hopeful that it will become an annual event.

Last, but by no means least, the tidiness of the area at the end of the day was magnificent - the committee had a minimum of litter to collect.

We collected more than £1,800 on the day and our final total, after payment of essential bills to cover hiring of marquees, chairs, printing etc, stands at precisely £1,478.43.

Some raffle prizes remain unclaimed, call 725495 to arrange collection.
