A travel game is helping to boost Manorlands’ coffers.

Sales of the portable version of Cross Sticks have so far raised more than £80 for the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice.

A similar amount has also been coined-in for Haworth Parish Church.

Oxenhope resident, Jill Buchanan, is selling the game for Manorlands through several outlets, including the Sue Ryder shops in Haworth and Keighley’s Airedale Shopping Centre, at Ruby’s hairdressers in Sun Street, Haworth, and at Westfield Lodge, Penistone Hill.

“I’m pleased with the response and the amount raised so far, considering I’ve only been selling them for a few months,” she said.

“I’d seen this game in Austria, where a joiner had made it for a friend of mine, and it occurred to me to produce a travel version.

“I don’t have an outlet from which to sell the games for the church, but take them to church events.”

The game sells for a minimum £3.50 donation.
