A Keighley pub is to stage a ten-hour charity pool marathon to raise money for Sport Relief.

At least 15 staff and regular customers at the Royal Oak, in Damside, have so far come forward to take part on Sunday.

The pub’s assistant manager, Liam Gregg, said: “At the moment all the staff are involved along with a group of our regulars. But we’d like more members of the public to come along on the day and join in. We’d like as many as possible.”

The proceeds for Sport Relief will come from the money put into the Timothy Taylor Brewery pub’s pool table during the session, which will run from noon to 10pm.

Mr Gregg added: “The Royal Oak has supported Sport Relief before – it’s a sporty kind of pub and shows a lot of live games.

“We’ll also be having collection tins on the bar and staff will go round with collection buckets from tomorrow night onwards.”
