A message from Tony Bryne – Combat Stress

First I must say sorry for the delay in letting BGS know how much was raised this year for Combat Stress.

A spell of illness and other shows have slowed me down this year.

Over the two days a total of £175.61 was raised. Whilst down on last year this is still a good result and I would like to thank all who donated and supported the charity.
