Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

12th October 2009

This evening team call out list members Chris Tennant and Gillian Leigh in one of our Team Land Rover Mountain Rescue Ambulances journeyed to the St Elizabeth’s Hall, Aspull, weekly meeting of the Aspull and Haigh Women’s Institute, to present a lecture on the work of the team.

Well barely had they both started, when off went the pagers for Call Out 79, (See seperate news article), and with a quick repacking of the Land Rover they had to depart quickly!

Before they (hurridly) left, Chris and Gillian received from the Aspull and Haigh Women’s Institute, a very kind £25.00 cheque donation, but more amazingly their imminent departure to an actual emergency generated an immediate impromptu collection amongst the many Women’s Institute members present, resulting in a further cash donation being made of £31.95 !

The whole team would like to express its thanks to all the very kind and supportive members of Aspull and Haigh Women’s Institute for their two donations this evening.
