A CHARITY night at Gis- burn's Stirk House Hotel raised £6,470. Derian House Children's


Hospice will benefit from the proceeds of the Remem­ brance Charity Bash. Organisers Lynda Holt


and Juiie Smith want to thank the 200 people who attended the event, which \ras held in memory of Julie and Chris's son, Tom, and Lynda's brother .William. The pair also want to


thank staff at Stirk House, local businesses which donated prizes for the silent auction and raffle, and the Lomax Brothers and local band Anonymous for pro- •viding the entert^nment. Derian House provides


care and support to termi­ nally ill children and their families across the North


West. Lynda said: "The annual


miing cost of £l.85m. must be met to keep its doors open 365 days-a-year at the moment and this will be more when a new extension is completed. With less than 10% of the money coming from Government funding, it is essential that money is raised to keep this ■vital link open for ill chil­ dren." Our picture shows fund­
