You might have read in the Newsshopper that two ladies in their late 80′s from Downham let a man into their home after he showed them a police warrant card and badge.

He asked various questions about their security and managed – with the help of an accomplice – to steal a £1,000 from the bedroom. It was money saved to pay for their funerals.

My councillor colleagues in Downham ward want to help these ladies and are organising a Quiz Night and Raffle at The Downham Tavern this Thursday
(19th) to raise some money to help reimburse them.

The quiz starts at 7.30pm at the Downham Tavern – it’s £3 per person for a team of up to five.  Everyone’s welcome – you can book a place by calling 8314 7747, or just turn up on the night.
