Inspector Kevin Spedding was banged in the stocks and pelted with water-soaked sponges in aid of St Mary’s at the popular annual fair and car boot sale hosted by the Leven Valley Support Group, which took place on June 19th and was a great success.
The event, on Haverthwaite playing fields, attracts hundreds of visitors for a fun-filled family day out.
Insp Spedding, who is responsible for policing in Ulverston and the surrounding areas said: “It was an excellent day and all a good example of community officers getting involved.”
After locals had grown bored of pelting him with sponges, a group of local children had a whip-round and managed to raise £50 to pour three buckets of water over him.
The Leven Valley Support Group has raised thousands of pounds for St Mary’s over the years and will be presenting a cheque to St Mary’s staff for funds raised during 2010-11 on the 22nd July.
