TICKETS are still available for a charity talk-in to be given by former Newcastle United striker and now radio pundit Malcolm Macdonald.

The event, including a pie and peas supper, will be held at St Cuthbert's RC Social Club, Chester-le-Street, on Monday, September 8, from 7pm.

Proceeds will go towards fundraising efforts to send leukaemia sufferer Vicky Jones on a holiday to Disneyland.

Six-year-old Vicky's father, Bryan, is a member of Newcastle United Supporters' Club Chester-le-Street branch, which has organised the event.

Tickets, costing £5, are available from the social club, in Lumley Terrace, or from branch chairman Graham Thorp, on 0191-389 0625, or (07956) 287319.
