Outgoing Lady President Jess Danter was delighted when she presented the cheque at the Ladies AGM last week.

And so too were the recipients, Liz Cottier and Sarah Wakeman, on behalf of the Marie Curie Hospice. We were given a brief insight into the progress made so far with the 'new build' in Marsh Lane and the enthusiasm and passion shown by our visitors was plain to see.

£6250 is a really significant amount and a huge effort was made throughout the year. Thank you to all Ladies and Gentlemen who at some point contributed to this very worthwhile cause.

Lady Captain, Lynda Cooper, has named the Marie Curie Hospice as her chosen charity for 2012 so efforts will continue on their behalf.
