Mark Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I see Tessa Jowell's mentioned it in her newsletter:"4. Finally, can I ask you to support a fantastic local group - the Ebony Horse Club - who are up for a well deserved award - but who need your vote to win. Please take a couple of seconds to follow this link: http://www.beyondsport.org/the-awards/london-legacy/shortlist.php and vote for the Ebony Horse Club under the 'London Legacy Award' section2" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6676-please-vote-for-the-ebony-horse-club-sports-charity/#findComment-214132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I voted for it after getting Tessa Jowell's letter, but I note the borough on the voting website is given as "Brixton", surely Brixton isn't a borough? Hope this won't affect the voting!
