LETTER: Tosside fundraiser great boost to village schools

SIR - On behalf of the governing board of the Ribblesdale Federation of Schools (Hellifield, Long Preston and Giggleswick Primary Schools) I would like to thank and congratulate everyone who was involved in the organisation of the ball held in Tosside Village Hall on February 8. To raise in excess of £2,000 is a great achievement and the funds raised will make a much valued contribution to the education of all the children who attend these three small but much valued village schools.
