TWO young women who lost their mum to a brain tumour within seven days of her being diagnosed have organised a charity day in her memory.

Fifty-three-year-old Pamela Joint died in April this year and her family wanted to do something positive to remember her and to help combat the disease.

Her children Lynsey, 26, and Donna, 24, have organised a day full of charity events with the help of their aunt, Sue Read, landlady of The Stag Inn in Charlton All Saints.

There will be events going on at the pub all day on August 23, including a car boot sale, a hog roast, live bands, face painting and an auction of prizes, such as paintballing days and legoland family tickets, with any money raised going to brainstrust.

"Pamela was a very generous and very creative' woman", said daughter Lynsey.

She worked part-time in the A&E department at Salisbury District Hospital and also worked for the Salisbury District Council. She was a kind and loving person who liked animals and enjoyed being surrounded by countryside. She also loved spending time with her family, including one-year-old Rebecca, her first grandchild.

Anyone who wants to help raise money for this worthwhile cause can just turn up at The Stag Inn on the day and join in with the events. The car boot sale will run from 9am-12pm and costs £5 a pitch.
