Pre-school pockets pool cash

A pre-school has pocketed enough cash to purchase a playhouse thanks to a 12-hour pool tournament.

Dougies Caravan and Campaing joined forces with the Rose and Crown in Holbeach Hurn in putting on the pool marathon for the Small Saints Pre-School in Holbeach.

In the event just before December, Ben Coupland came out triumphant in the tournament.

Other competitors included Gary Huggins, Adam Hutchinson, Paul Dye, Del Handle, Alan Williams, Dave Buckberry and Adie Lakey.

A spokesman said: “A cheque to the value of £1,030 raised on the day was presented to staff and children from Small Saints Pre-School which will enable them to put the money towards a much needed playhouse for the children to encourage independence and imagination.”
