It may not be everyone's idea of spending a weekend but members of Helston and St Keverne Young Farmers Club were only too happy to spend two days knee deep in dung.

Many members turned up to bag the well-rotten dung at Martin Williams' farm, with the bags now due to be sold this coming weekend for charity.

Members will be selling the dung at Trevenen lay-by and Sithney Common Hill lay-by in Helston. The bags of dung will be sold for £2 a bag, with all the money raised going to the club's chosen charity, The Fistral Ward at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro. Anyone interested in ordering a bag of dung can contact Adam Care on 07875 558 489.
