A Chinese bartender is helping to organise a fundraising event in aid of fellow countrymen affected by last month's earthquake.

Niko Lee, 25, of Gypsy Lane, asked managers at The Bridge nightclub in Hythe Bridge Street, Oxford, if they could support the victims of the earthquake in China's Sichaun province. Now the club is hoping to raise £10,000 for Oxfam's earthquake aid appeal.

Miss Lee, whose family is from Hong Kong, said: "One of my colleagues does charity work so I suggested why don't we do a night for the people who have suffered?'"

The event is at the club tomorrow from 10pm until 3.30am.
