A CHEESE and wine evening at Earl's Croome Village Hall has raised more than £1,000 for hall funds.

A total of £714.50 was raised during the event on May 18, including £283 from a tombola stall run by Maureen Newson.

Barclays Bank will now double the money raised on that stall under its Pound for Pound Community Investment programme, bringing the grand total raised to £1,280.50.
