The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
A Ladies Night held in Holbeach has raised £2,676 to be split between two good causes in the town.
Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital Trust and the Tigers Social Club and Bar will be benefiting from the money, which was raised at the event organised by Kathy Rooke, Emma Putterill and Kat Wakefield.
Over 100 women enjoyed the show put on by drag Queen Penny Change and the two male strippers. Drinks and nibbles were provided on the night by handsome waiters John Smith, Matthew Warfield and Aaron Eyett.
Kathy said: “A couple of years ago we organised the night out as we fancied doing something a little bit different but didn’t want to travel. We ended up organising our own which raised a lot of money for the hospital.
“A lot of ladies had been asking us to plan another event – so we did!”
Raffle tickets were sold at the event, with over 30 prizes all generously donated by local businesses.
A spokesman for Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital Trust said: “Our share of the money will be going towards a new wing for patients which will have eight extra beds in it which will be great.”
Sarah McKay from the committee of the Tigers Social Club and Bar said: “We are thrilled to accept this money to use towards the regeneration and refurbishment of the club for the benefit of the local community, which will begin later this year using the money which is now in a trust fund looked after by the Parish Council.”
