SIR: Through your column I would like to thank the thoughtful and kind children, who were playing in the park which is close to the Mortfield Bowling Club on the evening of Wednesday, June 11.

I was walking my dog around the park, when I slipped and fell. I sustained a broken leg as a result of this fall.

The children who were playing came to my assistance and were most helpful, alerting my husband, who was on the bowling green, and generally doing all they could to help.

Hopefully, they or their parents will see my letter of gratitude.

S Richards,

Hilden Street,

Bolton.
