Congress Players raise £4,000 for charity

Date published: 26 August 2009


A LOCAL theatre group went all the way to raise money for a good cause.

The Congress Players staged their own version of “The Full Monty” at the Oldham Coliseum. The show was sponsored by local company Plastics Direct and the firm’s managing director Carl Morgan. The show’s run raised £4,000 which the group donated to Children with Leukaemia, which funds research into treating the disease.
