AN arts and crafts show staged by pensioners has been held in Newton Aycliffe Community Centre.
A total of 27 exhibitors took part in the exhibition, which was the first of several planned by the Friends of Senior Citizens charity at the Neville Community Centre.
Displays included art, walking stick-making, boat making and driftwood carving.
Organiser Peter Beaty said: "In my opinion it was the best arts exhibition I've seen."
The event raised £305 for the Mayor of Great Aycliffe's annual charity to buy insulin pumps for children with diabetes.
