Editor's Notes

To all those who have enquired, the Bamber Bridge Bulletin is a non-profit making publication providing information and entertainment to all who dare venture over the internet threshold. However, all the staff and I are dedicated supporters of the

DERIAN HOUSE CHILDREN'S HOSPICE.

If you have enjoyed reading the BBB (or even if you have not), why not show your appreciation by making a donation to this very worthwhile cause.

Remember that anytime is a good time for donating to a worthy cause and although there are many demands on the old wallet and purse during the current economic climate, a donation, however small to this most deserving organization will help to lift your spirits as well as brightening the day for kids who are the innocent victims of that fickle mistress - FATE!

The address to send your donations is:-

Derian House, Chancery Road, Astley Village, Chorley, Lancashire. PR7 1DH Tel: 01257 271 271.

There is also a website

www.derianhouse.co.uk

where you can learn of all the good work carried out by the hospice. You can even make on-line donations!

I can assure you that all donations, no matter how small, will be thankfully received and faithfully applied.

 The next issue of the 'Bulletin' will be published - Sometime!
