Two businessmen will raise cash for charity.

Peter Kennard and Derek Steel, from Worthing, have already collected more than £4,000 for St Barnabas and Chestnut Tree hospices.

Peter, of HD Tribe funeral directors, and Derek, of Jacobs Steel estate agents, raised the money by staging a ball at Worthing Golf Club.

The date for a 2008 ball has already been booked for Saturday, January 5.

Meanwhile, Peter and Derek have organised a St George's Day luncheon in aid of Guild Care at the Ardington Hotel, Steyne Gardens, on Monday, April 23.

Tickets, costing £30 a head, can be obtained by calling Peter on 01903 234516 or Derek on 01903 506080.
