A SERIES of fundraising events will be held at the Crystal Palace pub in Holgate Road this weekend.
Today bids are open for a number of professional services, with the auction being drawn at 9pm.
Landlady Tracey Jackson said: “We have two days of decorating from a professional decorator, a jetwash, gardening, two hours ironing, people have just offered their services to raise money.
“On Sunday we have an egg-making competition which we did last year, and there’ll be an egg and spoon race round the benches and my husband Gerry has offered to be water ballooned for a pound per balloon.”
All funds raised go to Macmillan Cancer Care, in memory of Bob Alfieri – a regular at the pub, whose daughter Lisa will have her head shaved in a finale to the fundraising on Sunday.
