Pasties and peas raise over a grand
Volunteers fighting for the future of a Ramsey landmark have raised over a grand with pasties and peas.
A supper organised by the Queens Pier Restoration Trust over the weekend raised £1,212 towards the £1.5 million needed to refurbish the Victorian wonder.
In a separate fundraising initative, suporters of the Trust can also now 'sponsor' individual planks of wood, starting at £10.
It's hoped substantial works can start on the pier in March.
Speaking last week, project leader Tom Durrant said he wanted the restoration to stay community-funded at its core:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
