Jubilee Double Act at Stoke Boat Club The Donna Louise Trust and Brown Edge & Endon First Responders made an unlikely but well matched double act as they shared funds raised by Stoke Boat Club at their Golden Jubilee Rally at Endon in May. The boat club celebrated its fiftieth birthday with
a rally of boats and open weekend, the profits being shared by the two
charities. On receiving a cheque for £1,292.54, Jenny Sherratt of
the First Responders thanked the club saying she had not expected anything
like this much money! The First Responders go ‘live’ this
month, and the funds are much needed and appreciated. Jenny was also celebrating
passing her assessment the same day.

chance to cruise on Beatrice.
