A DISCO dancing competition has been hailed a success after attracting more than 150 youngsters from around the region.

The competition, organised by members of the Evenwood and Ramshaw Community Centre Committee, involved children from Derwentside, Sedgefield, Teesdale, Wear Valley and Durham.

Local schools and organisations also supported the event, which was held at the community centre.

The winning team in the four to eight-year-old category was Blitz, members of Evenwood Junior Club, with teams from Evenwood Senior Club and Staindrop Comprehensive School winning the nine-to-12 and 13-to-17 age group categories.

The overall winning team was Trix, from Evenwood Community Centre.

Judith Dean, who helped to organise the event, said: "It was a huge success and worth all the hard work."
