IT IS always a pleasure for Andover Lipreaders to have their annual cake and coffee fundraiser opened by the reigning Andover Carnival Princess and Prince.
However, this year, those young ambassadors – Princess Paris York, Prince Corey Brooker and their attendants Tia Heaton and Tilly Pritchett – went beyond the call of duty after having completed the formal opening.
They stayed and helped with the clearing up.
They were a delight to have with us as they chatted away with everyone and anyone.
Cake gorging raised £201.20.
Finally, we were especially pleased to be visited by the Mayor of Test Valley and her consort who are very supportive of our efforts to maintain free lipreading classes in Andover.
