A cheque for �420 has been presented to local GP Tony Press by the Hethersett Painting for Pleasure art group.

Dr Press accepted the money on behalf of the Norfolk Accident Rescue Service (NARS) of which he is a member. It was raised at the art group's fourth annual exhibition and sale of work in Hethersett Village Hall.

Hethersett Painting for Pleasure meets on Wednesday mornings from 10am until midday under the guidance of local artist Linda Goldspink.

NARS provides volunteer doctors and paramedics at the scene of accidents to help with those suffering serious injury or acute medical illness.
