Organisers of the trip have thanked staff at B&M Bargains for their continued support, members of the committee who donated items and Councillor Mel Brown for organising the raffle.

This year’s trip will be to Scarborough on Thursday, July 27.

  • Coaches will meet in Ferryhill Market Place from 9.30am and will leave at 10am, coaches leave Scarborough at 5pm.
  • The cost for the trip is £4 for senior citizens, £6 for adults and £3 for children under 14.
