“I’d like to thank Lear for sponsoring this year’s event, and everyone who has bought tickets and donated prizes,” said Coun Emerson. It is the support of the local business community and our partner agencies which allows us to stage this annual event.

“While the evening is obviously a great opportunity for people to meet, socialise and enjoy themselves it also has a serious purpose which is to help raise money for some fantastic local charities.”
