Alan Pearson, treasurer of the club, said: “There is a collective mix, most of which are low budget donations from local people.”

In the past, the club has raised money for food banks, youth organisations and youth camps.

Mr Pearson said: “The opening night is going to be when most people will turn up and there will of course be refreshments available.”

Adult tickets can be bought on the door for £5, with entry free for those under the age of 16.
