The Cancer Research Campaign local committee for Beckenham & Penge said goodbye in September to their Chairman, Mrs Jean Robbins, who has moved away after many years of hard work raising money for Cancer Research.

The rest of the committee would like to take this opportunity of thanking all the local shopkeepers, House to House collectors and other helpers too numerous to mention for their support over the years.

However, age and illness have taken their toll and unless more younger and abler volunteers are found to organise fund-raising events the committee may have to call it a day.

Are there any, maybe newly retired folk in the Becken-ham area with good organisational abilities and fresh ideas, who would join the committee and help raise even more money for this very worthy cause?

Please telephone me, Barbara Croft on 020 8650 8536 if inter-ested. Thank you.

Barbara Croft

Hon Secretary
