THIS is a heartfelt thanks to you and your team at the Lancashire Evening Telegraph for your support prior to and during our production of 'Dracula Spectacula' in aid of the East Lancs Hospice appeal. We sold many tickets as a result of your interest.

For us, the staging of this work has been a long uphill struggle with many human dilemmas along the way. We battled against extraordinary odds to honour our commitment to the hospice, and with your help and that of Ribblesdale High School - we did it! We hope to present £2,000 to the appeal and will confirm this when accounts have been settled.

It is reassuring to find a caring and sympathetic press, mindful of the needs of others.

GLADYS SUTCLIFFE, St James Street, Clitheroe.
