MAY I thank the Marlborough Carnival Committee and all those who helped them for their donation of £835 to the funds of East Wilts Mencap.

We draw our money from Marlborough and the surrounding area. The money will be used most carefully to help all our users in the district to participate in learning, holidays and social situations that would otherwise be unavailable to them.

Doubtless the other three charities, who also were beneficiaries, were as pleased and surprised as we were by the amount of money raised through the year-long events run by the carnival committee and their helpers.

Once again, our most grateful thanks to all who worked hard to make these donations possible.

In the process they also brought the community together in the enjoyment of many pleasurable events.
