LODDON Sports: Held its in-house tournament on Sunday. Full report next week.

RACE for Life: Several women from Sherfield took part in the Race for Life on Sunday, June 22, including me.

I also saw Alison Skelton and Ali Watts.

Thanks to all who sponsored me and helped me raise in the region of £450 for Cancer Research.

TERRY and Brian Raisborough: Held the second of their open garden afternoons on Sunday, at White Gables, in Breach Lane.

About 200 visitors enjoyed the garden.

Brian said: "It was fantastic that so many people came, and the weather held out with only one very brief shower.

"Thanks to all who supported us and helped make the afternoon a success."

Terry and Brian have raised £3,000 over the years for various charities and this year their special charity is Debra, in aid of the devastating condition EB which causes blistering of the skin.

VILLAGE fete: Sandy Johnston said: "We raised about £5,000 for the village hall and Basingstoke and District Alzheimer's Society.

"Despite the less than summer-like weather, I believe that everyone there enjoyed themselves."
