SIR,

Many thanks to everyone who supported the Philippines Disaster Fund by attending 'The Lost Lake' talk.

Special thanks go to Mike Booth and the Shire Hall committee for providing the hall with Dennis Davies in support.

Thanks to Sue Chivers, Mel and Stuart Wilson for the general organisation; Charles Boase who chaired the evening; Robert Davies who spoke about the disaster area; Rhodri and Ellie Clarke for the printing, and friends at the Monmouthshire Beacon.

The evening raised £565 which has been passed to the British Red Cross Philippines Fund.

Stephen Clarke
