*****From Ray Strawbridge****** On behalf of the late Gareth Watkins, his wife Judy and family, my wife Marie and myself, we all thank everyone who bought Gareth’s pigeons from the Elimar Pigeon Services web site. All the money raised was for Gareth’s Headfirst Velindre Brain Tumour Appeal Charity and we are really pleased with the money raised from the auction which was £3682.50.
A very big thank you to Mr Paul Battey, who sold a pigeon on the auction site and asked that the money raised to be sent to Gareth’s Charity. It made £107.90 bringing it to £3790.40, plus £700.50 raised at Gareth’s wake. A grand total of £4490.90. WE THANK YOU ALL!!
On a personal note a huge thank you to Les Parkinson, Kimberley Crowley and Andrew Colby of Elimar Pigeon Services for all your help and professionalism.
Yours sincerely
Ray Strawbridge
