Many thanks to Tanya Herbert for organising an extremely successful Charity Night. Not only has a cheque for a massive £1800 been handed over to the Association but all those involved seem to have had a very enjoyable and interesting evening.
Thanks to all the helpers, sponsors and acts although a special mention must go to Dame Edna (Adrian Doughty) and the Reveallers (Jimmy, Richard, Steve, Gary, Mick and Alan).
In fact, everyone enjoyed themselves so much, Tanya is planning other events in the not too distant future.

Our thanks go to Mr Leigh Ratcliffe, who works for Graham and Brown. Leigh took part in the Three Bridges 10K race and, through sponsorship, raised £102.00 for the Association. The Association is Graham and Brown’s adopted charity for the year and so they matched Leigh’s donation, raising a total of £204.00 for the Association
Many thanks to you all.

The Annual Saddleworth Beerwalk took place on Saturday 25th May 2002. The Association had a total of 39 walkers taking part, a pleasant increase on the numbers from recent years, so we hope to have raised a good amount of money for the Association. Final figures are still not available, however, they will follow soon, along with photographs of the event.

Tony Anwas, Peter Shaw and Bill Taylor
In July we received a phone call from Mr Bill Taylor (who has previously taken part in fundraising activities for the Association) to say that he and a colleague at Rochdale Police Station had a cheque to present to the Tameside and Oldham branch. Bill and Tony Anwas had raised £300.22 through a sponsored slim and we arranged to go along to Rochdale where Peter Shaw accepted the cheque on behalf of the Association.
Many thanks to Tony and Bill.

Final figures are not yet at hand but at least £250 was raised for the Association.
Roll on next year!
