| Hammer Out's first May Ball was held at the delightful Tortworth Court Hotel. The evening was enjoyed by over 240 guests who ate, drank and partied the night away raising money for an excellent cause. |
|
 |
Our guest speaker for the night was Fiona Castle, author, broadcaster
and wife of the late Roy Castle.
Hammer Out was also delighted to announce that Mr. David Sandeman has agreed to become Patron for the charity and he was on hand to say a few words. |
| A charity ball would not be complete without a charity auction and
over £2,000 was raised by the bidding. A big thank you goes to everyone who attended and helped us raise a total of £8,500. for the evening.
The evening concluded with everyone letting their hair down to the beat of the band 'Spectrum'. |

Also a big congratulations goes to Tina and Jean for their tireless work in organising such a polished and enjoyable event. Same again next year ladies?? |
