BACK in August 1983, a coffee morning was held at the home of Marjorie Wait in Castle View Terrace to raise money for the Kinlet Animal Sanctuary.

The sanctuary at that time had 22 cats and 58 dogs and had a weekly food bill of £120.

With Miss Wait (left) are, from left, Marion Maddox, Joan Wynne, Vivien Haynes, Margaret Leech, Connie Cooper and Nell Jones.

The coffee morning raised £270.
