SIR: Thanks to all who supported and/or participated in Bolton Lions' "April Amble" (the Charity Ramble) on Sunday, April 27, this year.

We have raised £963.50 in total for Vision Aid's Bolton Children. Special thanks to the Mayoral parties from Bolton and Blackburn; the Darwen Lions for their assistance and to Bolton's own Debbie Waterworth with the Skoda 'Rally Car' with her driver, Jason Austin from Blackrod.

We were helped by the Bolton branch of the Holiday Fellowship, and our 'own' mobile policeman courtesy of Inspector Harry Bretherton of the Lancashire Constabulary.

The weather was kind to us and all enjoyed the day in beautiful surroundings.
