I WOULD like to say a big "thank you" to those people who came on the afternoon of the Men's final at Wimbledon on July 7 to the lovely venue at Dowrich Farm to support the Garden Party in aid of the cancer charity FORCE.

Special thanks to Michael Lee, for the use of his stunning gardens and to our band of willing helpers, face painter and stallholders, who were a great support to the committee.

The Town Band who kindly played, were superb as usual and we are delighted that they have nominated us as their charity this year.

The day raised £562 for FORCE - a great result for us and a Wimbledon win for Andy Murray and the country - a truly special day!
