Dave, from Parker Building Supplies, said: “It was a very successful and enjoyable day for everyone involved.

“We always aim to raise £1,000 a year at this event and split the funds between St Michael’s Hospice and the Teenage Cancer Trust.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event by buying raffle tickets.

“My thanks also go to the businesses who donated raffle prizes and to Martin from the Hastings Angling Centre, for providing the goody bags on the day.”
