A FUN-FILLED afternoon was held on Tuesday, June 21 at the home of Ann and Roy Sheldrake, Pipers Pool.

A barbecue, raffle, tombola and children's games, organised by Maureen Ryder-Gordon, Ann Sheldrake and friends, were put on during the afternoon and evening.

The event was held in aid of the Help for Heroes campaign 'Horses help Heroes.' This challenge is for a team of wounded servicemen and their support crew, to drive a horse–drawn replica WW1 ambulance, 1,000 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats, travelling non–stop, 24 hours a day, to raise £1million for Help for Heroes to support wounded servicemen and women.
