BURGERS, chips and all other food will be off the menu for members of the Christchurch Methodist Youth Group in Marlborough when they take part in a 24-hour fast at the weekend in aid of Aids orphans.

It will be the third successive year that the youth group members and their leader Dan Collins have taken part in the World Vision 24 Hour Famine. They are determined to beat last year's record sponsorship total of £740.

Nationwide last year the event raised £500,000 for the charity World Vision.
