Heave
ho! Tug-of-war hauls in funds for Burnham-On-Sea charities
Hundreds
of pounds was raised for two good causes during a fundraising
tug-of-war in Brent Knoll, near Burnham-On-Sea, on Bank Holiday
Monday (May 25th).
Seven
teams tried to out-pull each other during the event at the Brent
Knoll Inn. It was held to raise funs for the Somerset Air Ambulance
and Burnham rescue charity BARB.
Organiser
and landlord John Smith told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "It was
a very well supported afternoon, with teams from Wedmore, Highbridge
Young Farmers, Burnham Rugby Club and BARB taking part. We'll
definitely be holding a second event next year."
Take
the strain... one of the teams pulls the opposition
The
girls' team proved they had plenty of strength too
One
team takes a tumble as they beat the opposition
There
were celebrations among the winning women's team...
...
and the winning men's team were delighted with their hard-earned
victory
Organisers
John and Janet Smith, who are landlords of the Brent Knoll Inn,
said the event went so well that they are already planning a second
event for 2010
