This event was, once again, well attended and over £650 was raised. this is a joint effort for both the League of Friends and Phoenix Hospital Radio. Thanks go to all the walkers and their "pooches" who took part. All "faithful friends" were awarded a rosette and a goodie bag. We are always pleased to see new walkers, so do try and join us on our 13th walk on Sunday 14 September 2008 - again Branston Water Park any time between 2.00 pm and 4.30 pm. Thanks, as always, go to League and Phoenix members who helped at this event.

Art Gallery

All of the artwork is for sale and its aims are to make the Restaurant brighter for the customers, to give local artists a display board, and to raise funds for the League (25% of all sales).

Individuals and local art groups are invited to come along and exhbit. The project is co-ordinated by one of our members
