The team at the Lumley Road shop spent the year fundraising for good causes.

By the time this photograph was featured in the paper 10 years ago, the total amount raised was £21,000, with the latest causes to benefit being the NSPCC and the RNLI.

The next fundraiser would include a visit from Santa, carols from the Skegness Silver Band, and a human fruit machine.
