A FUNDRAISING dinner is taking place in Richmond Town Hall for the mayor's charities on Friday, April 19.

Mayor Stuart Parsons’s chosen charities this year are the Sylvia Crathorne Memorial Trust, which helps with preserving and modernising the Georgian Theatre Royal; Richmond Leisure Trust; Richmond Building Preservation Trust; and Richmond Town Football Club.

Tickets for the dinner are available from the Town Hall, cost £25 and include an Indian meal provided by Delhi-Cious, and Alexander McMullon will provide music on the piano.

The event will take place in Richmond Town Hall, at 7pm for a 7.30pm start, and people are urged to buy tickets early to avoid disappointment.

Donations of prizes for the grand tombola will be gratefully accepted.
