More than £120 was raised during the Saturday night disco at Hailsham Football Club.

DJ Neil Povey provided the music at the event which was part of the ‘year-round fundraising’ by the society.

Captain of fundraising Alison Ridley said: “It was a fantastic evening and we shall be doing another disco event soon. We have to raise about £9,000 to put the Hailsham bonfire night on.

“We have fun and put in a lot of effort all year in order to pull off the bonfire night event. It is all free to the public but we fundraise all year.”

Hailsham Bonfire Society also raises money for local charities at the popular firework display.

Last year, this contributed to the £65,000 total raised by Sussex bonfire societies during the season.
