Nick Carr and the crew from "Pantomime with a Difference Take 2" have raised £2,000 for charity. Nick, who is an IT student at Truro College, or Rusty the Clown as he is also known, organised and directed the production.

Cheryl Mewton, director of studies at Truro College, said: "We thoroughly enjoyed the panto, it was hilarious. Nick's achievement has been admirable and we are very proud of him."

Nick presented the cheques and gave a short speech and said: "Thank you to all who have taken part in the pantomime and to those who helped back stage. We had a fantastic time doing it."

The money raised has been divided equally between the NSPCC, 5th Redruth Scouts, 1900 Hayle Squad Aid Cadets and the 77 Redruth Air Cadets.
