A CAST of two took to the stage in Delph for a special charity night, raising £750 for Mahdlo Youth Zone.
For several years Saddleworth Rotary Club has hosted a charity night in conjunction with a Saddleworth Players production to raise funds for local causes or groups.
This year they also worked in partnership with Oldham Metro Rotary to put on the fundraising production at the Millgate Arts Centre.
The audience thoroughly enjoyed ‘Scary Bikers’ by John Godber with the cast of two – Carol and Don – played by Elizabeth Travis and Phil Clegg and directed by Mike Lawlor. It chronicled the meeting of two strangers who end up touring Europe on a tandem.
A cheque for £1,500, including £750 raised on the night, will be presented to Mahdlo Youth Zone, based in Oldham to help fund their activities for young people over the Christmas period.
