FUN ON THE WATER in the Northeast
It proved to be a ‘lively’ night for everyone who joined the TTBS River Cruise to sail to the mouth of the Tyne and back.
Nearly 40 people enjoyed a buffet, drinks and a disco as they saw landmarks that included the famous bridges and The Sage Gateshead from the water. With the help of a raffle and prizes kindly donated by M H Southern and James Latham, the event raised more than £350 for TTBS.
“Luckily the weather was kind to us and everyone seemed to have a really good evening,” said organiser Dave Brown. “It was a fun event and there have already been requests for a repeat.”
