Gallery – Having a ball at glamorous event

£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.”
