Networkers help clean water reach Africa

By [grichardson]

MORE than £230 was raised at a networking event in Exeter for a charity which helps to supply clean drinking water to communities in Africa.

Crealy Great Adventure Park's managing director Angela Wright was the keynote speaker at the evening organised by TBX1.

An audience of city businesspeople at the Forsyth Business Centre in The Senate, Southernhay Gardens, was given an insight into how she established the thriving visitor attractions in Devon and Cornwall.

Angela also explained her interest in PlayPumps International and invited those present to write their name on a bank note and put it into a prize draw for the charity.

The donations were to be shared between the charity and the person whose name was on the note chosen at random by Rod Major, of TBX1.

But winner Chris Wood, of SW IT Services, opted to donate his share to the charity.

The next TBX1 networking meeting in Exeter will be at the same venue on Thursday, December 3.
