RONNIE Hunt, a guest at the Bear Hotel, in Port Street, Evesham, decided to run through the town barefoot in November 1972 wearing hotpants and a bikini top.

Mr Hunt, who comes from Kingston-on-Thames, was sponsored by the licensee Tim Parker and his friends and all profit went to charity.

Mr Parker said: “Mr Hunt will run down Port Street and up Bridge Street to the Crown Hotel where he will drink two pints of beer very quickly, then he will run back to the Bear.

“The money will be put on how long it takes him.”

Mrs Parker said that Mr Hunt was a friend of the family as well as a guest at the hotel.

“We decided to do something for the charity and Mr Hunt said he would like to help, so we thought up this sponsored run.
