In carrying out its work the Review Group has taken full account in its work of the findings of the Bristol Royal Infirmary Inquiry and other reports as they have been published. The review was published in November for a 3 month consultation, therefore, responses are required by 28th February 2003.

A big thank you to Joseph Flitcroft, the father of one of our members. Last year Joseph wrote a small book about his memories growing up in Millbrook and Stalybridge in Greater Manchester, and some of his memories of the war. Joseph has donated proceeds from his book to the Association, currently totalling over £230. For more information about the book, or to request a copy (at £3.50 each), please email the Association.

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.
