DEAR EDITOR - On behalf of my children and myself - would like to thank all those who participated in the Pig Roast that we held in memory of my late wife, "Josie" -- a much respected nurse in and around Bromsgrove for the last 30 years.

There are no special thanks as everybody was magnanimous in what they did and contributed.

Businesses for gifts towards the raffle and auction, helpers who sold raffle tickets, friends who set up stalls and all those who helped on the day, people who attended and spent generously, the list is numerous, but you know who you are. Thank you.

As was advised previous to the event, all proceeds were to go to the Primrose Hospice which realised over £3,500 in total.

Once again thank you.

Colin Cashmore,

Catshill,

Bromsgrove.
