Fundraiser for the Cobalt Unit at Wem Town Hall, July or August 1985.

This photo was emailed in by Edith Jones of Wem who tells us: “The picture I have sent you was taken at Wem Town Hall (before the fire!) around July/August 1985.

“The event was a whist drive to help raise funds for the Cobalt Unit at Shrewsbury. The organiser was Mrs Joan German, who is pictured left, holding a bottle nearest to the table (front row). This was part of several events which raised in excess of £1,000 in total.

“The people pictured are all helpers on the day. They are: back row, from left, Pauline Dee (Mayor), Edith Jones, Vi Jones, Winnie Williams, Norman Jones, Beryl Lea, Mair Pierce, Isabelle Slawson and Doris Richards

“Front row, Joan German (organiser), Agnes Hutchinson, Nancy Clorley, Mrs ?-can¹t remember first name Evanson, Elsie Downes and May Peake.”
