Sartorial stroll for charity

HULL'S BUSINESSMEN will take part in a sponsored walk from Queen's Gardens to Beverley in September.

The plan to prove that charity marches are not just for the younger generation comes from members of the Hospital Broadcasting Services.

Publicity secretary Mr John Fulstow said that money raised for the walk would be divided between the Hospital Broadcasting Services, spastics and multiple sclerosis charities.

BOWLERS AND BROLLIES

The Organisers visualise the walkers wearing pin-stripe suits and bowler hats, and carrying umbrellas.

Already there are about 40 entries.

'We have had a terrific response and the idea has aroused the interest of several firms' says Mr Fulstow.

He added that the walk could develop into an event involving rival teams from sevearl firms.

The walk is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 7th
