A donation of £20,000 was also made to the Lincolnshire and Nottingharnshire Air Ambulance based at Waddington near Lincoln. A display vffis made in the shop of the Y￿rk of the AMbulanr￿. This has been remarked upon and has met the approval of our customers and contributors. A further donation was mad8 to the Air Ambulane to provide unifoms for that charrtys fundraisers.
