THE date for Darwen’s Extreme Bungee day has been set for Saturday, June 21.

As reported in the Lancashire Telegraph, the day has been organised by the town council at a cost of £3,000.

However, organisers believe the council will recoup its expenses from fees paid to take a ‘leap of faith’ and sponsorships.

The event will host local groups and national charities and anyone wishing to take part can email peter. hollings@blackburn.gov.uk
