I WOULD like to thank everyone who came to the World War Tribute Show, “Lay Down Your Arms/Back to the Britz”, at Chilton and Windlestone Club on April 15 – also the WW2 Appreciation Society for attending dressed in the style of the Forties.

My thanks also go to the chairman of Durham County Council and his wife, Councillor Brian and Alice Myers, and the Mayor/Mayoresses of Chilton, Seaham and Peterlee (sorry if I have missed anyone off), to Mark Turner and two of the club committee for their help in the afternoon and evening, to my co-entertainer Jon Diamond and also to my crew.

A sum of £105 was raised for Help for Heroes through a collection and bottle game.

Maggie Newman, Entertainer, Durham.
