The Wisbech Sea Cadets moved a step closer to getting a new rowing boat thanks to a generous donation.
They were presented with a cheque for £500 by the Wisbech Masonic Benevolent Fund towards their new boat appeal.

Wisbech Sea Cadets vice president Barry Brown said: “We are extremely grateful for this very generous donation.”
