The annual Rye Nook Carp Syndicate Charity events raised a record amount of money thanks to the support of its anglers and generous sponsors many of whom are local businesses.
Funds raised were further boosted by one angler, who was being supported by colleagues at Bibby Factors in Hastings. Mick Whittington from the BFS office ran the 5 mile run and won his sections prize for heaviest weight of fish caught.
Without local businesses generosity and the hard work of the handful that organise it all they would have not have raised £4,600 which will go to St. Michaels Hospice, Demelza House and Hastings Mencap. A sporting accomplishment which Hastings, Bexhill and Rye can be proud of.
There is a team of ten running for the North West Air Ambulance in the London Marathon this year. If you have a place and want to join Team Bibby then get in touch.
Fundraising doesn’t just have to be about sponsored events and cake sales! There are many challenge events you can take part in that allow you to complete a personal challenge whilst raising funds for your favourite charity.
