A CHARITY auction hosted by Allendale Lions has raised over £4,000 for worthy causes.

The annual event, which took place at Allendale Village Hall last Saturday, included over 700 lots featuring antiques, bric-a-brac and furniture.

Recently-appointed Lions president Nigel Baynes was auctioneer, as more than 100 people packed out the venue throughout the day.

The money will be distributed among local causes, with some used to fund Allendale Lions’ work in the community.

Mr Baynes said: “This is one of the best auctions we’ve had for years and I want to thank everyone who came along and supported us.”
