Thousands donated in just 48 hours
The man behind Beach Buddies says he's been blown away by the response so far to his appeal for donations to buy a landmark in the north of the Isle of Man.
On Sunday, Bill Dale asked the public for help, as he aims to bid for the Winkie lighthouse at the Point of Ayre, to use as a northern base for the charity.
In the 48 hours since he has had £7,000 pledged, leaving him just £3,000 short of the asking price.
Bill says he wasn't expecting things to happen so quickly, if at all:
Isle of Man inflation eases slightly to 2.8% in October
Progress on autism strategy welcomed
Paper car tax discs cost DOI £7,500 each month
Just over half the vehicles examined were defective
