Burnham-On-Sea rock music fans have raised £800 for a charity in the town which looks after people with learning difficulties.
Five local bands held a special 12-hour concert, called ‘Rock Skool’, in Burnham’s Railway Inn earlier this month in aid of the town’s Gateway Club.
And on Saturday evening (April 22nd), the proceeds were handed over to club chairman Arthur Thorogood, club leader Barbara Thorogood and treasurer Dave Evans.
Arthur thanked everyone who had helped with the event and said the proceeds would go a long way to funding a summer holiday for the club’s members in Seaton, Devon.
Arthur is pictured receiving the cheque with Barbara and Dave, plus Gateway Club members Steve Parsons and Stuart Robertson, Woody from ‘Armitage Shanks’, Jason and Mike from ‘Scarlett Room’, Tim and Paul from ‘Winkers’ and Alan Gass – all of whom gave their services free.
Local bands Vermin, Four Men On The Job and the Ginger Hitlas also took part and many local businesses donated prizes for the raffle, who were also thanked for their support.
