Arthur’s Thank You

Arthur Woodgate, who died yesterday gave me this letter on 22 July 2009 and  made me promise to publish it to thank everyone at Rye Memorial Care Centre for looking after him so well.

At the Public Meeting, held at the Rye Community Centre in November the numbers of people attending were a bit better than those that attend meetings of the Town Council, perhaps there is a message here somewhere.
