THE Mayor of Durham entered into the swing of things when he presented awards at a charity golf tournament.

Councillor Ray Gibbon handed out the trophies at the Durham City Council's charity golf day at Durham City Golf Club.

The event attracted 30 teams, and the winners, with a score of 126 points, were the Consett Vikings.

The Community Services department of Durham City Council organises the event, sponsored by Armitage Shanks/Ideal Standard, on behalf of the Mayor's Appeal.

It raised £2,000 for the appeal which is in aid of Durham City District Voluntary Service.

Coun Gibbon said: "It's a fantastic day which helps us meet many of our local companies in a great location. Thank you to everyone who took part and made it such a great success.''
