As usual at these events, Anne Mellor ran a fundraising raffle, including conclusion of the ‘Name the Bear’ board started the day before in Lindley. With organiser’s luck (let’s call it that), it transpired that Anne had chosen the correct name for the bear. She then surprised all present by passing the bear to Brian Leonard, with the instruction that he give this to his great granddaughter Elsie May.
Elsie’s delight at receiving the bear is shown on this photograph.
