THE local Cancer Research UK committee is most grateful to the Times for its supportive article and photograph in last week's edition. Sadly, the men on our committee — Peter Rogers, our chairman and Jack McFadden, our treasurer — were unable to attend the meeting when the photograph was taken.

We were encouraged by the help of many people but would welcome others joining our team. If interested, please ring Jean Thompson on 01822 614635.
