A CHRISTMAS coffee morning held by the Darwen committee of the Cancer Research Campaign raised £371.

The event was held at the secretary and treasurer's home in Roman Road.

Linda Chatburn, of the committee, said the event had been 'super' and was very well supported.

The Darwen CRC is a voluntary group and Linda said new members would be very welcome.

She added: "We we would love to hear from anyone who would be interested in sparing a couple of hours to help organise a fund-raising event, even if they do not want to commit themselves for a long time."

Anyone interested in lending a hand should call Marion Walsh or Rita Flynn on 01254 703731.
