On August 13 Dorchester and District Angling Society held a sponsored duck race, the proceeds of which were to be divided between Julia’s House and Project Linus UK – West Dorset.

I wish to thank the committee and members of the angling society for all the hard work involved in organising the duck race. I also wish to thank all those people who so generously sponsored a duck or two.

Project Linus has received an amazing £750 as a result.

As with all contributions to Project Linus, none of the money will be spent on administration.

It will go towards purchasing fabrics, wadding and thread in order for volunteers to make quilts for sick and traumatised children in West Dorset.
