Fun For Good Cause - 14th July 1972

14 July 1972   fun for good cause
 

Two patrons of the Appledore Inn, Bideford, indulged in fun and raised £60 for a good cause.
Prompted by the landlady of the inn, Mrs Sheila Dinner, Mr Keith Eldridge dressed up and pushed his companion, Mr Tom Lobbett, who was disguised as a baby, through the streets of Bideford in a pram. 
Customers of the pub sponsored them and they kept going all day despite heavy rain.
The money will be used to take a party of local old-age pensioners on an outing in September.
Mrs Dinner is no stranger to this type of fund-raising having organised several such events in London before moving to the Appledore Inn.
