RUGBY World Cup winner Mark Regan MBE joined in with the celebrations for Avery Estate Agents’ 25th anniversary.

He was joined by Weston’s Mayor and Mayoress David and Carol Hitchins to promote the forthcoming Avery Grand Charity Ball, which is raising money for a special care baby unit in Bristol.

Mark said: “Having been a professional rugby player and represented England and the British Lions, I am used to having daily contact with people that give 100 per cent commitment to being the very best that they possible can in their field of work and, with this in mind, it is with great pleasure that I became patron of Avery Estate Agents’ charity ball in memory of Jack Colin Tucker.

“I would also like to take the opportunity to wish all at Avery Estate Agents congratulations in celebrating their 25th anniversary year and wish them continued success.”

Avery hopes the ball, which is now sold out, will raise a significant amount of money for its chosen charity.
