A SEVENTIES night raised almost £1,000 to send a group of disabled people on a holiday this summer.

The fancy dress event boosted funds for Bishop Auckland Friendship and Activities Club, so members can enjoy a trip to Blackpool.

A donation was also given too Durham Society for the Blind and Partially Sighted.

There was a full house at Bishop Auckland Town Hall, for last month's charity party, which featured live music from The James Brothers and Sherry Lee.
