AN organisation, which has been bringing together disabled people for almost 50 years, is holding its summer rally in Willington next month.

The Mayor and Mayoress of Great Aycliffe will be guests of honour at the event for the Durham County Association for the Disabled.

The organisation, which includes members from across the region, has been running for 46 years and organises two rallies every year.

Marie Ward said: "It is a sort of social get-together, but having said that, we also use it as a fundraising event."

The event will be held at the Kensington Hall Hotel, Willington, on Saturday, June 1, from 11am, and includes entertainment from singer Dixon J Scott.

Tickets cost £6. For details call (01388) 812288.
