A SNOOKER cue signed by Stephen Hendry, Mark Williams and Ken Doherty was auctioned to raise money for the Mayor of Burnley's charity fund.

The two piece cue and case were given to Coun Rafique Malik by Riley Leisure Ltd, Network 65, Burnley, who then presented them to the highest bidder, fellow councillor Carole Galbraith who paid £65.

The fund will support the North West Air Ambulance, Burnley Youth Theatre and Daneshouse Women's Resource Centre.

At the presentation in the Mayor's Parlour at Burnley Town Hall were the Mayoress, Mrs Nasreen Malik and Wyn McGeorge, treasurer of the Mayoress's fundraising committee.
