A QUIZ night hosted by the mayor of Ferryhill raised hundreds of pounds for two good causes in the town.

Coun Ken Campbell held the event at St Luke’s Church Hall which raised £300 for his chosen charities - Ferryhill Town Band and St Luke’s Youth Groups.

Coun Campbell thanked supporters particularly Coun Peter Atkinson, Carole Atkinson, Rev Keith Lumsdon, Harry Slater, Vicky Collins, Melanie Davy and everyone who took part or donated prizes.

He said: “I am extremely grateful to everyone who has supported me throughout my year in office especially those from St Luke’s Church for organising fundraising events, I thoroughly enjoyed the quiz night.”
