Club rallies to help war memorial repair
Kathryn Baxter, Suzanne Gair, Dora Henderson, Jan Henderson, Jackie Wood, Josie Buddle, Elaine Scott, Christine Teasdale, Gillian Stewart and Eileen Potts raised the money by making and selling crochet hats and blankets in aid of the war memorial repairs.
Last August, the monument secured £30,000 from War Memorials Trust supported by the First World War Memorials Programme.
