Thanks for birthday gifts

SIR, — I would like to thank everyone who attended my recent 50th birthday celebrations at Downpatrick Cricket Club when £840 was raised in lieu of birthday gifts for the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children in memory of Joe Lyttle.

A warm hearted thank you to family and friends who attended the party and donated so generously.

A special thank you to my sister-in-law Briege Lyttle for the beautiful first prize for the raffle. And a special thank you to my good friend Siobhan Stratton for all her help in organising the party and fundraising.

Yours etc.,

CHRISTINE MILLS,

Downpatrick.
