I WOULD like to thank the people of York and especially the six collectors who braved the awful weather to stand in York and collect for the Arthritis Research UK group on June 10.

Our total was down this year, but we did collect £265.52, which will go towards the many research programmes ongoing into this debilitating disease.

Many thanks to you all.

Ann Anderson, York branch secretary Arthritis Research UK, Moorlands Road, Skelton, York.
