Suffolk-based The Hudson Group has thrown down a challenge to other local businesses to join them in a day of fun, and fundraising, at Alton Water this summer.

The Hudson Group is organising a day of competition, and networking, on the aqua assault course at Alton Water on September 1, with entry fees and sponsorship in aid of St Elizabeth Hospice.

Companies are being invited to put together teams of eight for the day, and enter the competition.

A spokesman said it would be a great day for business networking and team building.

There are entry fees and teams are also expected to raise a minimum of £300 for charity.

Wet suits and life jackets are provided for the wet and wild event, in aid of the Elmer’s Big Parade appeal.
