Organiser Val Standage and MC Maggie Cannon, of Pendle Hill Fundraisers for Cancer Research, led the annual event at Banny’s Restaurant, Boundary Mill, Colne, last Thursday.

A fantastic £446.57 was raised for cancer research.

Participants tried their luck at games of Beetle while Cliff Meehan and his staff served up an excellent fish supper.
