This year’s event attracted more than 230 guests who took part in a charity auction and raffle to help raise funds for the local charities.
Lee Corke, chair of the CMC Charity Ball Committee, said: “A drinks reception was held in the Chapel with canapés and then a five-course dinner was cooked by the England National Culinary Team, supported by King’s College Chefs and Clare College Chefs. Monies were raised through a raffle, heads and tails and an auction. Later on in the evening, guests enjoyed a live band, disco and casino.
“Total monies raised were £15,616 which were split between each charity. I would like to thank Rob Clark, Emma Hilditch from the committee and Susan Madden, Clare Timms and Nick Wilson from King’s College for all their support and hard work that made this event possible.”
