A FUNDRAISING night in aid of a Turkish girl who was badly burnt in a house fire has switched date and venue.

The event, with a disco and prize raffles, was to be held this Saturday at the Two Blues pub, but is now planned for Friday, November 22, at Tindale WMC, in Bishop Auckland.

Four friends, Sylvia and Jim Ross, Susan Starling and Tommy Barraclough, all from the town, hope to raise money to help two-year-old Gamze, whose family they met two years ago while on holiday in Turkey.

Any local businesses or individuals able to offer a donation, can call Susan on 07816019563 or Sylvia on 07734165156.

They would also like to hear from anyone who can offer free entertainment for the evening.
