A FOOTBALL signed by the Newcastle United team is on offer at an open day at the community house, 6 and 7 Esk Gardens, Crook, today.

The open day is being used to launch a regeneration project for Watergate Green.

There will also be a Christmas fair, organised by Helmington Row and Wheatbottom Action Group.

In the afternoon a football signed by Newcastle stars will be auctioned. Sealed bids should be left at the house by 2pm.

The event aims to raise money for the community house, which has been open for a year.
