TRAVEL agency staff were transported back to the 1970s to raise money for the Butterwick Hospice at Bishop Auckland. Workers from Hays Travel, which has shops in Shildon, Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland, donned fancy dress for the event at the Railway Institute, Shildon.

Elaine Lumley, who helped to organise the event, said: "We raised £476 for the hospice in the end and everybody had a great time."
