Madam, Through your paper, I would like to thank all those who worked tirelessly last weekend to make the Country Music Festival the success it was, raising much needed funds for St Michael,s Hospice.

I wish to thank our hosts, Ross Rugby Club, all the stewards who worked very hard over the four day period, the Mayor and Mayoress of Ross Chris and Jane, the Carnival Princess Poppy Phillips and Stephanie Hinksman from St Michael's.

A special thanks go to those residents of Greytree for their words of encouragement, praise and congratulations on a well run event.

Thanks to you all.

Colin Gray, Ross.
