MEMBERS of a Teesside friendship group are enjoying two trips thanks to the National Lottery.
The Friendship Club, from Grange Road Methodist Church, Hartlepool, was awarded £2,500 by the Winners For All fund.
The 31 members of the club spent some money on a theatre trip to see comedian Russ Abbot in the musical Dr Dolittle, at the Sunderland Empire.
Before the show the club members, who are mainly pensioner, enjoyed a free meal.
The remaining cash has been used to book a four-day-break, in Great Yarmouth, for all the members next May.
A club spokeswoman said: "We get together every Thursday to meet and have a good time."
