Children from both schools dressed in something purple and bought special blue wrist bands to help raise almost £240 which is enough to immunise more than 1,000 children. Jeremy Hoskin, the club's senior vice-president, said everyone enjoyed a brilliant day.
"The children were so enthusiastic," he said. "We received excellent support from the children and teachers. Congratulations to both schools."
