RECORDS BROCKEN AT BROCKWELL TREE DEDICATION BY LAMBETH'S NEW MAYOR LIZ ATKINSON.
115 people/£145 collected in tree bucket to name but two Robert Holden below gives the full story.
Dear colleagues
My sincere thanks to all those who helped make today such a great success. In addition to you members of the FOBP Committee, I extend special thanks to the Mayor, Liz Atkinson, and her consort, Richard Hardman, for crossing fields to reach all our trees and for staying the course; to Thomas Edgar for taking the photographs; to Tracey O'Dea for also taking photographs; to Kevin for helping to clear up; and to Sheila Northover for invaluable help on the day. Most important of all, I thank Laura Moprland for all her help and advice over the past year.
This year we have raised over £2000 in donations; we planted 29 trees, the most in any year apart from the Millennium year; we had well over 100 people present; we sold seven copies of Peter Bradley's new book We received a donation of £50 for a tree from Dennis Sullivan and a record £95 in the bucket(Total £145) The catering was just right, and the weather was fine. We and Brockwell Park were truly blessed.
We have £250 in donations towards the trees for 2006/2007, so we are on our way. I look forward to seeing you all on 3rd June 2007.
Best wishes and kindest regards,
Robert Holden
