Higgins’ night racks up £2,300

With some frames auctioned off, collection buckets, a raffle and a signed waistcoat going to the highest bidder, a total of £2,300 was raised.

Jim Carrol, club owner, said: “Thanks to everyone who came, including of course, John. A special thanks also to Tennent’s and Booker Cash and Carry.”
