WE are writing to give you the result of our charities walk across Morecambe Bay which was held on October 7 on a wet and windy day. Unfortunately we were not able to cross the Bay but we walked from Kents Bank for as long as the full walk would have taken so we really earned our sponsor money.

Thank you very much to all who walked and also to the sponsors. We have received more than £3,818. which gives each charity the grand total of £1,909.

We are very grateful to Over Wyre Focus for the publicity they gave to the walk. We hope you feel this excellent result makes the publicity worthwhile.

We give our thanks also to G-Line coaches of St Annes. Thank you Muriel and Ernie for donating your coach hire charge back to the charities again -- it was much appreciated. Thank you to Bradshaws Travel, Knott End, and Archway Coaches of Poulton for your very favourable terms which helped the charities' efforts.

Not least our thanks go to Cedric Robinson, the official bay guide, for leading us safely across once more.
