Fundraising at Skegness Cable Ski 10 years ago.

More than £2,000 was raised by the generous water-skiers either through sponsorship or by paying £25 for a day of fun on the water.

Partners at the leisure facility split the money between two charities close to their hearts – Macmillan Cancer Support and Help for Heroes.

Jim Howe explained a former partner at the cable ski, Glen Thacker, had recently passed away from cancer and that was one of the reasons motivating them to raise the cash.

Visitors were also able to enjoy the facilities at a cheaper price than it would have cost them on ordinary occasions.
