Gallery – Having a ball at glamorous event

Over £4,000 was raised for local charities as a glamorous ball returned for an eighth year.

This year’s event raised thousands in aid of the St John’s Ambulance and local Rotary supported charities.

£2,000 was raised thanks to the raffle which had fantastic prizes including a signed England World Cup finalists rugby shirt that went for £330.

Other prizes included a visit to Buckingham Palace, England test match cricket tickets, a carvery for ten at Woodlands Hotel and lunch at The George of Stamford.

Rotary spokesman Peter Atkinson said: “It was a really good evening raising money for local charities.”
