Rotary Club of Ribblesdale, Yorkshire, North England has recently organised their sixth pub walk in support of the East Lancashire Hospice.
The Yorkshire event attracted more than 400 people who together visited fourteen pubs while enjoying the local countryside scenery.
“It’s always great to see more and more people signing up each year, which makes such a fantastic atmosphere on the day.”
Rotarian Barry Woods, who organised the event, commented on its success.
He said: “This is an event we all really enjoy planning and for such a fantastic cause close to many of our hearts here at the Rotary Club.
“It’s always great to see more and more people signing up each year, which makes such a fantastic atmosphere on the day.”
Participants wearing the blue Ribblesdale Valley Pub Walk event t-shirt, sponsored by Blackburn-based business, Intack Self-Drive, were treated with a warm welcome in each of the fourteen pubs they visited.
Rotarians come together to fundraise for local hospice.
Ann Mason, Individual Giving Fundraiser from East Lancashire Hospice commented on the turnout at the event.
She said “The weather really tempted people out, and around a hundred signed up on the day. We even had one visitor from Sheffield, and plenty came up from Manchester when they saw the sunshine.
“So many people approached us whilst we were walking and wanted to know more about the event, and how to sign up next year.”
