YORK Lions Club would like to thank all the members of the public who donated a magnificent £707 in Parliament Street on Saturday, October 23.

This gets our annual appeal off to a tremendous start for our senior citizens' Christmas lunch, special needs children's panto and the many other local charities which we support.

A particular thanks goes to Derrick Lund, who on his own collected £290.
