PUB regulars in Northumberland Heath had fun raising cash for charity.
The Royal Oak pub, in Bexley Road, staged a host of events, including a barbecue, putting people in the stocks, a Wild West shoot-out, head-shaving, leg-waxing, a darts tournament, an auction and a street collection to raise more than £3,500.
The money has been given to the Merchant Seamen's Memorial Fund, which supports two local respite care units in Brook Street and Lesney Park.
The pub became involved in the charity through Ken Willis, an ex-merchant seaman who founded it to raise money for local causes, and a Royal Oak regular for more than 50 years.
