At the same time as donations have dipped, there has been a growing demand for their services, and we are delighted to be able to provide financial aid to these fantastic local charities and the projects they run, particularly in these difficult times.”
Tony said: “It was a real shock to hear that a fossil’s been named after me. I’ve had a bit of abuse from my friends about it who’ve enjoyed calling me an old fossil, but I think it’s great, a real honour.”
The fossil is said to be from an ancient eel-like marine vertebrate known as a conodont.
