Sixty-five sheets were returned for marking of which 7 were 100% correct (including spelling) and the winner has been drawn from those 7. The lucky lady was Mary Ricks from Lydiard Millicent who has received a £25 M&S token.
I thank Pat Hughes for organising this event, which raised £228. This sum will go towards our sheet music collection. Thanks to all who took part.
