AS part of the local celebration of the Queen's Jubilee, a group of ladies from Balderstone and the surrounding districts organised a charity bazaar and coffee morning at Mellor Brook Community Centre on May 11.

Lots of people turned up and thanks are due to the ladies, friends and neighbours for the donation of quality goods and the many members of the public who came in support.

A cheque for £458.30 has been sent to the appeals office of the North West Air Ambulance in Merseyside.
