By Monday, November 27 £495 had been raised, just £5 short of the club's target of £500.
The club is based at Winchester Tennis Club in Bereweeke Road in Weeke and is run by Mr Hosking, from Titchfield.
On the Just Giving page, it said: “The Children in Need charity's aim is to improve the lives of thousands of children by ensuring that their childhood is safe, happy and secure. They want to give every child the chance to reach their full potential in life. Winchester Karate Club (WKC) is kindly sponsored by Winchester Tennis Racquet and Fitness Club (WTRFC) and monthly funds raised by WKC are donated to Naomi House Children's Hospice.”
Last year, they raised £572. To donate, visit justgiving.com/page/nigel-hosking-1698662098958.
