Little Common open garden
This is the first time that proud owner of the stunning garden, Linda Kivity-Ray, has welcomed people into her home to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Care.
A joint effort with two other dedicated committee's members (chairman Cynthia Edwards and secretary Jeanie Styles) and a team of enthusiastic volunteers, the day was well attended.

A similar invitation was issued at Clinches in Collington Lane East.
The commitee organises a series of fun-raising events throughout the year for Macmillan and St Michae'ls Hospice. Over the past 12 years they have raised approximately 12,000.
Linda said they always receive a warm response from local people whenever they do a fund- raising activity.

Forthcoming events include a tombola at the Battle Classic car show, a beetle drive, a barn dance in October and an Autumn fair.
