A fundraising dinner for Devizes’ Commonwealth Games hero Tom Reed is to be held in the town tonight.
Bag4Sport Foundation has organised a dinner at the Peppermill bistro to help judo player Reed who receives no Lottery funding as he tries to qualify for the Olympics in 2016.
He won a silver medal this summer in Glasgow.
He said: “Next year is a very big year for me to qualify for Rio. This will be my last chance to compete at an Olympics.”
An auction with lots that include a picture by Wiltshire artist Joanna May will boost the fundraising.
Tickets for the two course dinner cost £29.50 each and are available by emailing eloise@bag4sport.co.uk
