ATHERTON WI have stitched up a £100 grant for the Millenium Parish Map Project.

Now they want to thank Cllr Sue Loudon for her successful bid for funding from the Brighter Borough funds.

However, club secretary Mrs Irene Clare feels the deal may be too generous, and is now offering to help finance anyone else in the town who wishes to sew a scene for the scheme.

Soroptimist International Map co-ordinator, Marion Andrews, said: "It is not too late to be a part of this unique project - and it won't cost you a penny.

"There are so many places that must be of importance to local people, let's get these represented on the map and let everyone in the area know how much you care about it."

For further information contact Irene on 01942 791806 or Marion on 01257 426610.
