Local scene Making wishes Recently Brading Haven Yacht Club hosted an evening in aid of the Make a Wish Foundation. The Foundation provides funds to seriously ill children in order to ‘Make a Wish Come True’. Club member, Gordon Wight was already raising funds so the Club decided to add their efforts to his by holding this event. Businesses and individuals were approached for donations; the response was extraordinarily generous providing items to auction and raffle. The single most expensive lot went for £1,100 the cheapest a less dramatic but still valuable £10. A total of £5,000 was raised to put with the £1,500 already raised by Gordon. Anyone who would like to donate can do so at www. justgiving.com/fundraising/gordonwight. A fantastic night was had by all, with excellent food and good company!
