A CHARITY auction is to be held next month to raise funds for a toddler fighting a brain tumour.

The Officers' Wives Club at RAF Lyneham where three-year-old George Mitchell's parents are based will stage the event at the De Vere Hotel in West Swindon on Friday, July 16.

All funds will go into a central fundraising account, which could be used to fly the youngster to the US for pioneering surgery.

Tickets are £18 and are available by sending a cheque, along with a stamped addressed envelope to Charity Auction, 88 Eider Avenue, Lyneham, Chip-penham, SN15 4QG.

Cheques should be made paid to Service Funds RAF Lyneham.
