Let no-one dispute that the regulars at the Bullnose Morris pub at Blackbird Leys, Oxford, are champion fundraisers.

They have organised money-spinning events and dipped their hands in their pockets, again and again, to raise a staggering £10,000 in the past year.

And it's not just easy tasks they have set themselves - one of the achievements was to climb Everest!

All the money will be going to the Pathway Workshop, the charity which trains disabled people to turn waste wood into garden furniture.

Without the money, the workshop would almost certainly have closed.

That would have been a sad loss to those involved in the project and to the wider community.

The workshop has had a chequered history, with frequent appeals for money to keep itself in business.

Last year was one of its most challenging, with floods and problems with distributors and customers adding to its woes.

But now, thanks to the pub regulars, it can now look forward to a brighter 2008.

They all deserve a pint!
