A fitness centre in Tonbridge hosted a charity spinathon to raise money for the Royal British Legion poppy appeal.

Peak Fitness in Avebury Avenue hosted the 12 hour event which saw dozens of people remain on spin bikes for periods of time.

Gym manager, Julie Poole, remained on her bike for the entire time alongside Tonbridge police who provided a relay of spinners.

The event raised £2580 which has been donated to the poppy appeal.

Pam Mills from the Royal British Legion said: "It was a brilliant and fun way to get everyone involved. Credit to everyone that signed up including Tonbridge police who provided a relay of spinners.

"Talks are already in place to host the event again over the next few years increasing the hours gradually. It was a true community effort to support such a good cause."

Julie Poole said "I was amazed at how many people signed up and at the amount we raised, it was a brilliant event & I would like to say a big thanks to everyone who got involved."
