I called Bernard O' Mahoney last week and asked him if he could help in anyway with the Appeal Fund.  The reason being that Bernie's site has been established for a number of years, and I have been a member in the past and still review the site, and I know that a large number of people visit the site on a regular basis.  The site is well constructed and a lot of the members are from the Essex area. 

In addition I have read some of his books which I would recommend, if you find his topic(s) interesting as they are real life and local.

As a result of Bernie's message on his site we had 136 hits within 48 hours from the link, which raises the profile for Tilly, and so my thanks go out to Bernie for such a swift action to help Tilly's cause.

Best regards

Colin
