YOU can dance the night away while helping wounded soldiers this weekend at the Meldon Christmas charity ball.

The event will be held at Meldon Village Hall on Saturday December 4, with the evening starting at 8.30pm, and all proceeds going to Help for Heroes.

It is a perfect opportunity for the ladies to get out their Christmas frocks, — gentlemen are requested to wear black tie.

Tickets are £10, which includes a buffet dinner, and are available from Mandi Heard on 07968 403686 or Sarah Littlejohns on 07887 887771.
