Weston mayor invites you to annual charity ball

Weston-super-Mare mayor Dave Hitchins is inviting people to join him at the town's annual fundraising ball.

The mayor's ball takes place on Saturday, March 9, at the Winter Gardens and is this year hosted by councillor Hitchins and his wife and lady mayoress, Carol Hitchins.

The ball starts at 6.30pm with a drinks reception in the Prince Consort Hall, followed by a four course dinner and live music by The Niteshift Band.

During the evening there will be an auction and draw.

Businesses are being invited to donate prizes for the draw which can be delivered to Grove House.

Last year's fundraiser raised more than £6,400 which was donated to local charities, voluntary organisations and community groups.

Mr Hitchins said: "For more than 30 years the town mayor has held an annual charity ball to raise funds for local voluntary organisations.

"It is a great privilege for me to host this year's ball which supports many local charities and voluntary organisations."

Tickets cost £37.50 and can be booked at 01934 632567.

Collection of prizes for the draw can be organised by calling this number.
