A GROUP of youngsters will jet off to Mongolia next month.

Eight young people and two youth workers will be following in the footsteps of Genghis Khan.

But first they must attend one of their last fundraising efforts to reach the £7,000 they need - a Mongolian Ball at Romanby Golf Club, near Northallerton.

The event is on Friday, July 11, and tickets are £17.50, including a three-course meal, disco and band.

The youngsters, all students at Northallerton College, will be the only English representatives at an international youth camp.

Tickets for the ball are available from Emma Casson or Keith through Northallerton College on (01609) 773340, ext 272.
