Story
Every year members of Southport Hesketh Round Table raise thousands of pounds for local good causes through their events (Southport Charity Bonfire and Fireworks at Victoria Park, Mad Dog 10k run and our popular Santa Sleigh).
In addition this year the chairman (Dean Wilson) and vice chairman (Dan Hubbard) and Treasurer (Chris Green) will be marking the 100 year anniversary of the battle at Passchendaele , with a 100 mile cycle from the monument in Southport to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
Dean says " after finding out that my great grandad had fought and survived both the battle of the Somme ,and Passchendaele as well as losing a brother in the trenches ; I was inspired to mark his bravery 100 years ago"
We aim to raise 1917 pounds (or more) for the Royal British Legion and are very grateful for your support .
