I WOULD like to thank everyone who came on the Cancer Research UK donation walk on March 5.

In total we have raised £386 to date for this very worthy cause.

Thanks in particular go to Malcolm Root who led the walk and shared his extensive knowledge of the old railway which ran through Halstead and its connection to buildings and other features which still remain in the town.

I would also like to thank Mo at the Locomotive pub for very kindly providing refreshments after our walk and allowing us to have a sit down and hold our raffle for prizes kindly donated by the walkers.

Thank you again everyone for your generosity and hopefully I will see you again at our next event in October.

Karen Howlett
