A FUND-raising night at the Village Leisure Club, George Street, Prestwich, raised £1,588, thanks to a storyline from Coronation Street.

A script from the TV soap fetched £110 in an auction in aid of the Christie's Against Cancer appeal.

The event, in February, was staged by Christie's Tender Loving Care supporters' group, taking them over the £70,000 mark for the cause.

A ladies night is being lined up for May 2 at Lynwood Lodge in Crumpsall.
