AN exercise group proved to be as nifty at fundraising as they are on their feet when they came to the aid of a national charity.
Northallerton College Lifelong Learning Group decided to devote the proceeds of their last session to Comic Relief.
Known as the Nifty Fifties - although the oldest member is actually 83 - they meet at the Hambleton Forum under the guidance of fitness instructor Sheila Grant.
The group, and two pilates classes that followed, raised about £150 for the annual national charity event.
"We asked people to donate a £1 and also had a raffle," said Mrs Grant.
"They are a great group and proof that you are never too old to exercise."
Northallerton College's Sandra McDougal said: "They are a wonderful group and love the classes so much that last year they even made a video they can use during the school holidays when the sessions are not held."
