F. S.C. thinks D. M.S. Q11'

WE'RE ON THE WAY TO RAISING £100,000

The Toothill Farm Steering Committee who have developed plans to expand the use of Toothill
Farm by including some hobby rooms, a small lounge and two squash courts have had their first
financial success. D.M. S (Readers Digest) of Blagrove Industrial Estate have committed them-
selves to covenanting £1,000 a year for five years to the Farm Project. This means the Farm
Steering Committee will be able to claim the tax that DMS has already paid on this money; so the
covenant is worth not £5.000, but £7,142 over five years. Whats more, Mr. Hasant, Managing
Director of DMS has also agreed to be Chairman of a Finance Advisory Group which will help us
raise £100,000we need from Industry. Thank you DMS for your help - the first contribution is
always the most difficult to get; and welcome on board the Farm Project.

only pay 10p per evening thereafter.
