THE League of Friends of Launceston Hospital and Community summer fete was held at the hospital on Saturday, July 12. The event was opened by Mary Butler, who has been a regular visitor to patients at the hospital for many years. She was presented with a basket of flowers by young Jack Lang. Despite changeable weather the fete was well supported and the stalls did brisk business. Throughout the afternoon Launceston Town Band and a group of young girls called the 'Melodeons' entertained. There was also face painting for children, sideshows, guess the weight of the sheep, raffles, and cream teas.
