Christmas gift to ensure Teesdale lunch club parties go with a swing

CHRISTMAS parties across the dale will go with an extra swing thanks to a £500 gift from Teesdale Lions Club.
As a result, each of the dale’s ten lunch clubs will receive £50 to help towards the cost of food, decorations and crackers.
Ann Richards, Teesdale Lions Club welfare officer and lunch club leader at Woodland, said: “It means we can push the boat out a bit this time.”
