A BALL taking place next month will raise money for a community group in Barnard Castle.

The YMCA in the town has organised the charity ball, to be held in the Morritt Arms Hotel, on Friday, November 9.

The evening includes dinner and dance and organisers are hoping to get support from the local businesses and individuals, who can sponsor a table, provide flowers for a table or donate a raffle prize.

There will be a three-course meal, music by a ten-piece band and a disco.

Tickets for the ball cost £30 per person. For more details about the event or the work of YMCA, call 01833-695780
