A CHARITY fund raising event will see 42 agriculture students from Newton Rigg College offer themselves as workers in an auction at Penrith mart on Monday (2) at 10.30am.

The students came up with the idea themselves to raise funds for the North West Air Ambulance. They will be divided into 14 lots offering skills ranging from lambing to machine handling and general labour. For more information contact lecturer Natalie Parker on 01768 893512.
