Letters to the Editors
Easter Lilies
Dear Editors,
As many of you will know we decorate our village church with lilies at Easter time. We are able to have plenty because so many of you are kind enough to make a donation towards them in memory of a loved one. Once again we will be arranging the flowers that you have enabled us to buy. Details of how and where to make your contribution are included elsewhere in the Crier under the heading `Easter Lilies'.
I look forward to seeing the church decorated with lots of lilies at Easter time.
Action for Children
Dear Editors,
Once again the residents of Tothill Road have given generously to the house to house collection I recently did. A total of £25.41 was raised which has been forwarded to 'Action for Children' formally known as National Children's Home. Their contribution last year helped raise nearly £400,000 and is vital in helping the organisation reach out to the UK's most vulnerable children, young people and their families.
If you would like to organise a house to house collection next year please ring me on 01638742945 or ring direct to the Supporter Care team on 08457 626579 (9am-5pm Monday to Friday)
Thanks once again to Tothill Road residents for the support. Its only with your help that vulnerable children can be given the chance of a brighter future.
The Gentle Touch
Dear Editors
The Hockey Report asked whether the "presence of the girls"made the last hockey match the cleanest ever. Of course it did.
Would the presence of more women on the boards of major banks have prevented the financial crisis? Of course it would.
Would women bishops help? Of course.
Was the BBC biased when it dumped Carol Thatcher and just ticked off the Ross and Clarkson boys? Of course it was.
Fortunately, we now have many promising women politicians. How refreshing to hear the calm sensible comments from Jacqui Smith, Hazel Blears, Harriet Harman, Yvette Cooper, Beverley Hughes, Caroline Flint, Tessa Jowell and many of their younger sisters.
Long may this advance continue.
