THE North Herefordshire Renton Appeal Group hase a number of fund-raising events before Christmas.

On November 25, it will hold a bring-and-buy and cake stall, between 2.30pm and 6pm at the Rankin Club in Corn Square to co-incide with the switch-on of Leominster's Christmas lights.

During the event tickets will be sold for a Christmas draw.

All the costs of the draw, including prizes of £100, £50 and £20, have been sponsored for both this year and next by a Leominster businessman who wishes to remain anonymous.

Winning tickets will be drawn at another event, a coffee morning at the Rankin Club on Saturday, December 9, starting at 10am.
