ANYONE involved in some way with the Winsford Cottage Hospital at Halwill was invited along to share their reminiscences with the trustees and maybe become reacquainted with old friends.

Unfortunately the garden party became an indoor tea, due to the weather, but the rest of the idea worked brilliantly.

Over 25 people attended, one for the first time since she stopped working there in 1949, and several more answered the request for photos and press cuttings for the archive by mail.

For the full report, and a round up of the area news and sport, please see this week's edition of the 'Post'.
