Regulars at the Berrow Inn showed both imagination and a sense of humour in arranging the fundraising racing session in aid of the RNLI.

Organiser Ray Hancock, pictured right, thanked Sharon and Kevin for supplying the
ferrets, Paul Jones for his bookeeping skills, and Brian Reed for his unique
way of auctioning the ferrets on the night.

Ray said: "The money raised
will be put into the kitty, to purchase an item, or items, for the lifeboat
station at the end of the year."

Burnham-On-Sea Lifeboats Press Officer Mike Lang said: "We are grateful for the support from all at the Berrow Inn. The ferret race evening proved to be good fun."
