GENEROUS donations have been continuing to flood in for the Somerset Unit for Radiotherapy Equipment (SURE) over the past two weeks.

The hard-working SURE fundraisers are aiming to raise at least £600,000 to provide diagnostic and treatment equipment for a new cancer centre being built at Taunton's Musgrove Park Hospital - and over £450,000 has been collected so far.

Recent donations came from Mrs Taylor who gave £10, Mr and Mrs Bowey - £10, Marina Saint - £203, Fivehead WI - £80, Mr Gosney - £100, Stoke St Mary Bellringers - £111, Julia Stark from Somerset County Council - £175 and the Monday and Friday Dance Club - £140.

All that takes us up to a grant total of £33,008.

SURE has also announced the winner of the Christmas Quiz, organised by Peter Goodwin of Clatworthy, as Marilyn Muir from Langport.

She was picked at random from 14 entrants who got 49 out of the 50 questions correct, and will receive £25.

Monkton Heathfield Village Hall will play host to its regular SURE bingo on Friday night.

Eyes down is at 7.30pm.

o PLEASE send your donations for SURE to Eric Saffin at 19 Greenway, Monkton Heathfield, Taunton.
