A BOXING club struggling to pay a huge rates bill has organised a fund raising show.

Tyldesley Centurions BC, which prides itself in taking children off the streets and caters for 140 fighters, is hoping to raise the majority of the £2,000 needed to pay off the bill on their Elliott Street gym, and is looking forward to a "Cabaret Evening with Tom Critchley and Friends" at Boothstown British Legion on November 17.

Tom is a well known local recording artist and will be joined by three other singers for the show.

Tickets are £5 and are available by contacting Steve Walshaw on 07977 223322.
