The team, whose members were planning to dress up as a variety of wacky characters, is aiming to raise £500 for the city charity.
Stacey Bragg, one of the organisers of the event, said: “We always like to help out St Luke’s whenever we can because it is a charity which is so close to people’s hearts. “The fancy dress theme will be a lot of fun.” The pub crawl was expected to reach seven pubs in the Plympton and Ridgeway areas this evening. Entry to the fancy dress fundraising event is £3. Fundraisers were to carry buckets to collect money from well-wishers.
