Diana Whiteley, president of Mansfield Inner Wheel Club, organised a beetle/Beatle drive that raised £1,700 that will be given to two charities.

The event at Queen Elizabeth’s Academy, Mansfield, was attended by 160 people, who were then entertained by the singing of ‘The Beatles group and ‘Cilla’.

The money will be donated to the Red Cross Society and Marie Curie.
