Once again two young women, Charlotte Reynolds and Jessica Teague, organised a wonderful evening's entertainment to raise funds for Help for Heroes at the Chase Hotel.

The Masquerade Ball was supported by a large number of revellers who all entered into the spirit of the evening, vying for the most elaborate masks.

Maria and Andrew Gooding sponsored the event and also decorated the venue in the charity's colours. The guests danced to the band SwiTch and to the disco with DJ Mark Baker, after a delicious buffet meal.

Together with the raffle the evening is expected to raise in the region of £4,200.
