SIR - May I thank the people of Keighley and its surrounding areas for their generosity when we, Keighley Lions, took our Santa sleigh out before Christmas.

Thanks to them our charity account is very healthy, having raised £475, and we will be able to help more people and good causes throughout the year.

May I also thank Colin Appleyard and his employees for towing the sleigh, Keighley Explorers who helped with the collecting, our fellow Lions and their friends, the management of the bus station, Keighley Fire Station who allow us to store the sleigh and anybody else who helped in any way.

Mrs M Verity, president, Keighley Lions Club, Squire Lane, Bradford
