From The Brant Inn To Ben Nevis...
Posted on 3rd August 2009
Martin Raynor, manager at the Brant Inn,Groby, was joined by regular customers Mark Briggs and Christopher ‘Taff’ Scargill in a bid to climb Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain.
The trio expect to raise around £1,400 for the Glenfield Project, which provides respite care for children in the Leicester area with disabilities and special health care needs. The Project is seeking support to fund both the purchase of a new minibus and the creation of a sensory room at its premises on Station Road, Glenfield.
Martin said: “We were talking in the pub about how we could support the Glenfield Project because it’s such a worthy local cause. The guys agreed they wanted a challenge so I suggested climbing Ben Nevis.
To help raise money Martin has been supported fellow publicans from other local Everards pubs the Stamford Arms in Groby, Coach and Horses in Markfield and the Railway Inn, Ratby.
