in an accident after which she was air-lifted to hospital. Since then,’ as a ■village, we started organising fund-raising events and have so far managed to raise £3,500.


■.“With our latest fund-raiser, all'


we ask is that when customers have had their fish and chips, they donate as much or as little towards


. the life-saving charity. We normal­ ly sell the fish and chips for £8.95, so it’s a good deal. “We want as many people as


possible to support this worth-' while cause and it will be fabulous toraise about £2,000.”
