Angi Blease is running a pre-Christmas Craft Stall in aid of ALTA funds on Thursday 12 November 2009. She will be ably assisted by Marion Edwards, but would value any help that you can offer. If you are at Addenbrooke’s that day, but cannot help out on the stall, why not donate a tombola prize, or just buy a ticket or buy one of the many items on offer?
You can choose from a good selection of possible Christmas gifts.
Thank you for your continued support.

The Concert was a great success and it is anticipated that ALTA will receive around £6,500.
John Fisher and his wife attended and Jane Andrew, who recently lost her husband, made the thank you speech on behalf of ALTA at the end. It was very moving and very personal - very very brave. She is committed to helping Addenbrooke's and ALTA and was fulsome in her praise of the Liver Department and C9.
Many thanks to the Kelvedon Singers, to all who helped make the event such a success and to John Crookenden for helping with the organisation.
