Close Shave for The Albany Pub
As part of on-going charity work for Macmillan Nurses, Albany landlady Lizzi Maxted–Bluck and her husband Ian Bluck will be taking part in a part-head shave and hair dye for the charity. Both Lizzi and Ian will be left sporting wildly coloured Mohicans to show their support for the cause.
The charity, which is close to the hearts of both Lizzi and Ian who have both lost family members to cancer, are dedicated to raising as much money as they can to the nurses who showed their empathy and help to the members of their family.
Lizzi says ‘The charity has done so much for me and my family in the past that I would love to be able to give back now. Any money raised will be a huge help as we hope to raise around £300 for Macmillan.’
The event is taking place at the Albany Pub on Friday 6 November at 3pm followed by performances from local band, Ten to Ten and also members of both Lizzi’s and Ian’s family. Customers are invited to drop in throughout the afternoon and can donate via the sponsorship form located in the bar.
