Lynn News nostalgia photo spread from May 16’s paper, part two:
May 2003: Ray Dent, formerly of Blackborough End and known as a quiet bachelor, remembered Lynn’s Southgates Medical Centre in his will with a £10,000 bequest.
The cheque was presented by two of his friends, Leonard and Eileen Rudd (right); also pictured from right are, Susan Osborne and Noel McGivern, secretary and chairman of Supporters of Southgates, Maurice Parker and Dr Cathy Connolly. Photo: MLNF-03051049
May 2012: A craft fair at Reffley Community Hall in Lynn raised the grand total of £1,402.90 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

May 2000: Baldly going where no man – and certainly not many women – have gone before are these regulars at Gaywood’s New Inn who lost their locks for charity.
Following the lead of landlord Dave Hanwell, they volunteered their heads to the clippers of stylists Gina Hall (Sizzers Hair Design) and Andrew King (Snippers) who gave their services free – and the final result was a head-turning £1,700 for Macmillan Cancer Relief.

May 2012: Two RAF servicemen raised £2,415 after they came 10th out of 161 teams in the Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Marathon.
Sgt Dave Duff from RAF Marham and Warrant Officer Mick Chandler from RAF Cranwell had trained hard for the 125-mile challenge and Sgt Duff (right) received a hero’s welcome when he presented the cheque to the King’s Lynn Kandoo Club chairman Ian Bullen, watched by club members and helpers.
