IT’S A ?2,000 RACING CERTAINTY AT WEALDEN BUSINESS GROUP FUNDRAISER

It’s not often you come away from the races with winnings of more than ?2,000 – but that’s what happened on Friday!

Wealden Business Group, the networking organisation for small and medium sized businesses, staged a Race Night at the Little Silver Country Hotel, Tenterden on Friday (3 February) in aid of their charity-of-the-year, the East Kent group of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

More than 60 people attended, and enjoyed an evening of eight filmed races and a fish & chip supper. When ticket and raffle sales and ?1-a-go betting proceeds were added up, the charity benefited to the tune of more than ?2,000.

East Kent MNDA chairman Clive Hudson thanked WBG members and guests for their support, while Wealden Business Group chair Justin Nelson commented: “It was a terrific evening, and a really fun way to raise money for a thoroughly deserving cause.”

The Group, which meets at the Little Silver every Wednesday for breakfast, business networking and presentations, nominates a charity each year. In the past five years, more than ?25,000 has been donated to local good causes.
