THE spark has now been lit for Radcliffe Round Table's annual bonfire.

Members will begin this week selling admission programmes for the October 2 charity event.

As always it will be held at Close Park, and the bonfire will be lit at 7.30pm.

Organisers are hoping to top last year's £3,500 total, and this year the money raised will be divided between the Round Table Children's Wish Trust and local charities.
