REGULARS at Dorchester's
Victoria Hotel are celebrating after
raising about £1,500 with a charity
fundraising day.
The pub goers took part in a fun run
to Maiden Castle, skittles and pool
competitions and raffles to raise cash
for Cancer Research UK.
Organiser Mat Chalmers said: "Every
year the pub holds a charity day and
this year we had a wonderful time.
"The fun-runners took a bit of a
soaking but the good cause kept us
going.
"During the day a barbecue,
a bouncy castle and a couple of live
bands kept things going and the
atmosphere was terrific."
Cancer Research UK's branch
chairman for Portland, Weymouth and
Dorchester Olive Carroll was on hand
to start the fun run.
The charity collection was boosted by
a donation from Dorchester Town girls'
football team who held an auction at
their annual awards evening.
