Once again the committee would like to thank the people of Pickering and  surrounding villages for supporting our House to House collection. The excellent total of £3,672 was raised. Thank you too to our collectors who braved a very cold March to go knocking on the doors.

          Our next collection is the street   collection which will be on Saturday, 19th July.

          Our "event" this year is to be a Jazz concert given by Ryedale Jazz Band on Wednesday, 27th August in the Memorial Hall. They are a terrific group of jazz enthusiasts, so please book it in your diary and come along to listen to jazz on a summer evening.

          Details to be announced in the press nearer the time.
