Abseil
THE PRESIDENT of the Rotary Club of Eastbourne will be abseiling down the Congress Theatre to raise charity cash on April 6.
Bob Hamblyn has been challenged to raise money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation during his year in office.
And Bob has decided to invite members of the public to join him. Intrepid fundraisers who take up his challenge may either donate the monies raised by their participation to Make-a-Wish, or split it 50-50 with the charity and another local charity of their choice.
For more details and a sponsorship pack write to 1 Rectory Close, Eastbourne, BN20 8AQ, or download it from www.eastbournerotary.org.uk
(Only people over the age of 18 on April 6 can take part).


Mikes needed
THE JUNCTION Tavern is desperately seeking some radio mikes to make sure its fundraising panto is enjoyed by as many people as possible.
The pub holds an annual panto and this year proceeds will be going to Children with Cancer. Last year £4,000 was raised, and this year the performances have been boosted to three days, so pub bosses are aiming for up to £6,000.
The panto will be staged in April.
If you can help the pub, please call 01323 482010.
Anyone who can help will be given free tickets for the show.
