INTREPID friends Clive Thorne, Martin Williams, Philip West and Rob Smith are throwing themselves out of a plane to fund a charity event.

They are raising funds for the annual Taunton Round Table trip to Longleat for disabled youngsters and their families in October.

They are making a 15,000ft tandem skydive at Dunkeswell airfield on Saturday, March 29.

To sponsor them go to the organisation’s Facebook page Taunton Round Table 140 or type in the participants’ names at uk.virginmoneygiving.com homepage.
