Happy St Valentine's Day

I’ve got a few fund-raising events to share with you this week just in case you are looking for fun things to fill your diaries with.

If you are a dedicated follower of fashion, but can’t afford designer prices, then The Rotherham Hospice may have a treat in store for you.

A Swish and Style Evening has been organised to give glamorous folk the chance to shop and swap for charity.

The event will take place from 7pm until 10pm at The Carlton Park Hotel, Moorgate, Rotherham on March 3.

Swishing is a form of clothes swapping and gives you the chance to bag a bargain and spring clean your wardrobe while raising money for a worthy cause—sounds like a grand idea to me.

Supporters are invited to bring up to three garments of clothing or accessories in good condition, clean and on hangers to swap at party.

Fund-raiser Fran Morley said: “Guests can enjoy drinks and canapés on arrival, in a stylish and elegant venue.”

Tickets are £8 each and available from the fund-raising team 01709 308917.      

Maybe music is more your thing–why not buy a ticket for the Jazz Night in support of Help For Heroes at The Brecon Hotel, Moorgate, on March 26.

The £25-a-head event features a two-course meal, live Jazz act and fund-raising activities.

For tickets contact 01709 828811.

Just one last date to tell you about - Happy Birthday Val Scott-Hepburn - born on St Valentine’s Day (the name gives it away). Have a lovely day!!!
