BOLTON Hospice and Bolton Lads and Girls Club have announced the date for their Big Bolton Ball will be November 3.

The glitzy event will celebrate the work of both charities and will help raise funds for both organisations.

It will be held in the Premier Suite at The Whites Hotel and will include food, entertainment and an ‘Auction of Promises’ which could include a supercar driving experience, a private dining experience, guitar lessons, ironing for a month, or use of a holiday home. Contact Maria on 01204 663 055 or events@boltonhospice.org to donate an auction prize. Karen Edwards, chief executive of Bolton Lads and Girls Club, said: “As two of the larger charities in the town it makes absolute sense to work together and bring our supporters together, as well raising much needed funds for our respective causes, the Ball will be one of the events in the Bolton Calendar”

To book tickets, contact Kelly on 01204 540 100 or Kelly.McFadden@BLGC.co.uk. Cowgill Holloway LLP will be the headline sponsors but more are needed.
