The Tsunami tragedy has had a fantastic response from Cookham residents.  Currently there are several projects underway to try and raise funds and help the aid agencies. Below are listed some projects in the planning stage for which volunteers are needed plus some activities that are already happening.

Events Already Happening
18th March at 10.30. "Masters of the Misty Landscape"  is linked to the forthcoming Exhibition at Tate Britain of works by Whistler, Turner and Monet.  The lecturer is Ann Clements.  The place is Moor Hall and the price of £10 includes coffee and home made biscuits.  Tickets are available from Marion Elly m.elly@btinternet.com This will support the Sri Lanka Relief Fund  

Brian Clews is planning a talk on Birds at the Pinder Hall. The Pinder Hall is offering the facility for no charge as their contribution to the Tsunami Appeal.

Sri Lanka Relief Fund  provides for the needs of the children and adults in Galle District whose lives were forever changed by the great waves of the Tsunami on 26th December 2004. In particular the fund is aiming to refurbish two schools in the Galle district which were damaged by the Tsunami and to aid local industries. Contact:
