Ladies fund-raising group was present­ ed with the Cancer Research UK Flame of Hope Award at the Russell Hotel in London for the category Fund-raising ' in the Community.

It was later e.\panded to include Yorkshire ladies when the Weavings took over the Rendezvous hotel on the outskirts of Skipton. The ladies were nominated for


the award by Sarah McPhee, the charity’s area volunteer manager. In addition, Karen Weaving, as the group’s founder and secretary, re­ ceived a special commendation in the awards’ toughest category of all, the Fund-raising Volunteer of the
