A DRAMA group has become the latest recipient of a digital camera from The Northern Echo's CommuniGate team.

The Allerton Players' website has been selected as the pick of the month for February.

Deborah Hugill, of the Northallerton-based group, started building the site in October and has been steadily adding information.

It now includes photographs of productions dating from the 1970s and details of performances as far back as 1942.

CommuniGate web editor Karen Maughan said: "I am delighted with the progress that has been made on the website recently.

"Deborah has chosen to take advantage of some of CommuniGate's standard features, such as a messageboard and guest book, and the coloured text and archive photos make it look really attractive."

The players stage their twice-yearly productions at Hambleton Forum, in Northallerton.

Their next performance, Inspector Drake and the Perfekt Crime, will take place next month.

The digital cameras that are given to featured sites are donated by Sales and Marketing Services, of Darlington.

The CommuniGate team will be at Bedale market with their IT bus all day tomorrow to help anyone interested in setting up a website for their group or club.
