PLYMOUTH'S branch of the Campaign for Real Ale and a Barbican pub have raised £158 for cancer charity St Luke's Hospice.

The Fishermans Arms pub held a beer-themed quiz and raffle event, forming part of CAMRA's celebration of Cask Ale Week, promoting Britain's national drink.

Licensee Martyn Scott said: "I was delighted to host the event. We had a great night.

"I'd like to extend the warmest thanks to all those who came along and made the evening such a success."

Dating from the 17th century, the Fishermans Arms is the oldest pub located on the Barbican, in Lambhay Street.

Rob Hick, Plymouth CAMRA spokesman and quizmaster for the evening, added: "It was a brilliant evening. I really hope we can do something similar next year. The questions were tough, but I think everybody enjoyed themselves!

"And I really must give my thanks to Martyn for making it all happen."

Forming in 1971, CAMRA is a voluntary consumer organisation with more than 100,000 members. It promotes good-quality real ale and pubs.
