Pop Idol gift for generous Margaret

Margarett, who owns the Newhaven Scuba Club on the West Quay, helped raise thousands of pounds for charity during the station's Fun-d 2000 Bank Holiday auction on air.

She paid 3,600 to be chaffeur driven to London with grand-daughter Kelly, 17, to meet Pop Idol winner Will Young.

The pair, joined by Breakfast Show presenters Danny Pike and Nicky Keig-Shevlin, then went to see the star perform alongside runner-up Gareth Gates at Wembley.

Generous Margarett, of Court Farm Road, said although she enjoyed the special day, she was more pleased to be able to help Southern FM's charity, Fun-d 2000, which aims to give young people in Sussex the break they deserve.

As a special thank-you to Margarett's kind-hearted gesture, Southern FM got together with Will's record company to produce a signed and framed CD and photograph dedicated to her. She was presented with the unique gift, which bears a plaque with her name, during Danny and Nicky's breakfast show.

Margarett said she and Kelly were able to speak with Will for a few minutes in a bar and even met Gareth when he popped in briefly.

Danny Pike said: 'Margarett really helped us raise lots of money for Fun-d 2000, which will make a difference to a lot of young people. We are so grateful for that and wanted to do something to say a big thankyou to her.'
