A surfboard featuring Pudsey Bear, which has been created by staff and students at Falmouth Marine School, will be auctioned to raise money. The white board, standing at seven foot six inches high, is the perfect size for both beginners and advanced surfers, the students say. It was designed and built at the school, which is part of Cornwall College, where courses to build your own surfboard regularly take place. John Latham, Cornwall College principal, said the “fabulous” effort has combined showcasing the skills of the students with raising money for charity. “I would like to urge everyone to get on the Bid4it site and place their bid, it is in a good cause and you may bag a bargain,” he added. All proceeds from the sale of the surfboard, which is valued at £300, will be donated to Children in Need. The event will take place on November 14th this year and will include fundraising bids for Daniel Craig’s watch and signed items from soaps Casualty and Holby City.
