Asda backs Burnham-On-Sea hovercraft charity's fundraising night

Supermarket giant Asda has given its support to the Burnham-On-Sea charity that operates the town's life-saving rescue hovercrafts by helping to sell tickets for next weekend's fundraising 'super hero' theme night.

Crewmembers from BARB were invited to the Highbridge store this week to promote the 'Super Hero Night', which will be held at the Beachcomber Inn in Brean on Saturday (March 20th) from 7.30pm.

All money raised will go towards the £60,000 cost of buying a replacement hovercraft for the charity.

In addition to live music from The Soundations - a popular motown, disco and soul group - there will also be a hot food buffet. Visitors are being encouraged to come in super hero themed outfits and there will be prizes for the best.

Organiser Michael Lowe told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "The event will be a really fun night which will raise money for BARB's new replacement hovercraft."

Tickets, priced £12 each, are available from the Hair Of The Dog barber shop on Burnham High Street or by calling in at the hovercraft station on Burnham seafront on Wednesday evening from 7pm.
