HOSPICE fund-raiser John Whitford has purchased a 42-piece dinner service from the annual Burnley Pot Fair and he will be raffling it for charity.

John, of Appleby Drive, Barrowford, will be using the crockery as a focal point for a millennium draw which he is going to organise.

He said: "The dinner service is beautiful and would grace anyone's home.

"The draw will be called the Barrowford Friends Millennium Draw in aid of Burnley and Pendle Hospice.

"The dinner service will be the focal point of the draw and there will be a number of other prizes."

The draw will be launched at an open garden event at 5 Appleby Drive on July 31 and August 1.
