Workers at Dolland and Aitchison, in the High Street, dressed up in the scary devil gear and raised over £100 for Action for Blind People, which is a sporting organisation for the blind.

A raffle was held outside the store for a few hours next to a skeleton, and shoppers won chocolates, novelty gifts, and sunglasses.
