A TRIP by Shildon Ferret and Fishing Club raised more than £100 for charity.
Steve Stacey, 40, who regularly goes out fishing and shooting with the group, presented Councillor Garry Huntington, leader of Shildon Town Council, with a cheque for £107.
The money will go to Coun Huntington's chosen charity for the year which is Lupus UK.
Coun Huntington said: "Lupus is a disease that is becoming more prevalent and it can make young women infertile.
"It is a very debilitating disease and until recently it was a killer and can still be fatal. It is a very worthy cause that deserves support and I think it is wonderful that all these young people have given their free time to raise this money for research.''
