Bracknell

Nearly 100 guests romanced the night away at a Valentine's charity ball organised by the Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest, Cllr Bob Edger.

The glittering black tie event at the Hilton Hotel, in Bagshot Road, Bracknell raised more than £6,000 for the Mayor's chosen charity, Childline, as guests enjoyed a three course meal, music from the Special Blend band, an auction and a raffle.

"This was a very special evening where everyone had fun, with a top quality meal and music for all to enjoy.

"At the same time they contributed to a very deserving charity which each year helps thousands of young people in distress.

"Childline, like all charities, needs extra support in these tough times; and all those good people who came to the ball as well as those many others who generously contributed money donations and prizes, certainly added to this support.

"I am very, very grateful to everyone involved."
