Thank you shoppers: The Midsomer Norton Friends Group of the Children`s Hospice South West, would like to say a big thank you to all those Tesco customers who put money in the collecting bucket on Friday 15th December, we collected over £700, a wonderful amount.

Thanks also to the Mendip Male Voices and Westfield Voices for their carol singing.
