PEOPLE are invited to enjoy an evening of Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine - and help save young lives at the same time.

The Mayor and Mayoress of Northallerton, Tony and Janet Hall, are raising funds for the special care baby unit at the town's Friarage Hospital.

Tomorrow, they are holding a fundraising event at the Aroma restaurant in Zetland Street. A three-course all-you-can-eat buffet, priced at £9.95 a head, will get under way at 6.30pm.

Coun Hall hopes the evening will be remembered as a celebration of being together as members of the Northallerton and district community. Contact the restaurant on (01609) 774239 or the town hall on (01609) 776718.
