Sir.-An enthusiastic audience of more than 500 people attended the matinee and evening performances of Helen Watson's Summer Music Hall at the Haymarket Theatre.

Lively sketches and acts, plus sing-alongs of well-known favourites, created a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

We were delighted that Helen agreed to visit Basingstoke for the second year running.

A big thank you is due to all who supported Age Concern.

Last but not least our thanks go to Shire, who, by generously continuing sponsorship, made this event possible.

-Sally Bashford, Chairman, Age Concern Basingstoke & Deane.
