Black tie ball organiser bids to boost £40,000 total

Tickets have gone on sale for the annual dinner dance hosted by Stag resident Bill Rotherforth (pictured), at Thurcroft’s Consort Hotel, in aid of Rotherham Hospice and Prostate Cancer UK.

Black tie and evening gown is the order of the day at the November 28 event which will feature a four-course meal and entertainment from The Magnetics, The Dream Girls, Gillian Banks Theatre School and table magician Adrian Hurley.

Bill said that it was the death of a close friend, who was cared for by the hospice, which had prompted him to start fund-raising and he held his first event in 2006.

He added: “The event has been such a great fund-raising success for the Hospice in the pas, and such a fantastic night for everyone, that I’m hopeful of a good turnout.

“Ticket sales are already going really well, so I’d urge people to make a booking as early as possible to avoid disappointment.”

Ticket prices are £40-per-head or £350 for a table of ten.

The event starts at 7pm and is expected to be over by midnight.
