ENGINEERS showed off their model creations to raise money for a Huddersfield charity.

The Brighouse and Halifax Model Engineers held an open day to show members their work, including a miniature train which they enjoyed taking rides on.

The engineers hold a number of events throughout the year to raise cash for different local charities.

The £656 they raised from the open day has been donated to the West Yorkshire Forget Me Not Trust, which is working to build a children’s hospice and respite centre in Brackenhall.

The group’s secretary David Wainwright said: “It’s a very good cause because it’s a local charity for local children.

“It’s particularly important to support it at this moment in time, because its still got a lot of money to raise to build the hospice.”

The society is based at Ravensprings Park in Brighouse.

Members meet on Wednesdays and Sundays. New members are always welcome. For more information contact Mr Wainwright on 01484 710672
