HUNT supporters gave a £1,300 boost to a North-East charity yesterday.

The Braes of Derwent Hunt Supporters Club, in Consett, raised the cash through its first pantomime production. The show, Aladdin, was performed at Blackfyne Community School in the town.

Yesterday, cast members gathered at the Pavilion restaurant in Iveston, near Consett, to present a cheque to Macmillan Nurses.
