The audience of 260 enjoyed a special evening of music and the event raised £3700 for the Dorothy House Hospice at Winsley near Bradford on Avon in Wiltshire. During the interval refreshments were provided for those taking part.

Members of the Wiltshire Lodge of Agriculture and their ladies visited the hospice on Wednesday 28th November to present the cheque. They were met by Paula Smith fundraiser for the hospice seen in the picture holding the right side of the cheque. They were given a tour of the treatment and family rooms with an explanation of the help they provide for those who are terminally ill and their families.
