More than 400 attend rugby club’s gala ball
 |
| Clare and Mike Hay, and Ashley Neville |
NOT even the grim summer
weather could dampen the spirits
of the more than 400 people
attending this year's Durham
City Rugby Football Club annual
gala ball.
Staged in a lavish marquee at
the club's ground at Hollow Drift,
the third event of its kind proved
a huge success.
A drinks reception kicked off
the evening which was then followed
by dinner. After the meal,
those attending enjoyed a programme
of entertainment before
dancing the night away.
A total of 420 people attended
the ball which, as well as being a social
occasion, also provided the opportunity
for old friends to reunite.
The evening before the dinner
dance the club also staged a
Sportsman's dinner in the marquee,
where the speaker was ex-
England international Brian
Moore, who received a warm reception
from the 300 guests.
The celebratory weekend
raised a total of £20,000 for the
club.
