League of Friends Newsletter 1971

The following newsletter was distributed to members of the society as a means of informing them of events etc.
This newsletter compiled in December 1971 is a compendium of the league's gifts to the hospital since it's inception. League Secretary Mrs Val Mason.

It is some time since you last heard from the league of Friends. Since last writing to you, we have of course held the summer fete which raised about £750. Again out thanks are due to the generosity of our members.

Many of you are probably unaware of just what the league has achieved since it’s formation in 1958 and it has been suggested that we list as part of the newsletter, our achievements from the outset of the league. After reading through the list, I am sure that you will agree the league may be proud of these accomplishments. We look forward to continued success and to support from you our members.
