Hollywood Heroes ball review
19th September 2008
The star studded and glamarous event was attended by such Hollywood Heroes as Darth Vader, Indiana Jones, The Tin Man and Dorothy.

A wonderful evening of dancing and entertainment was topped off by the annual auction. Prizes included a signed Liverpool FC shirt, a signed Bolton Wanderers shirt, hotel short stays and more. The STAR item, kindly donated by Lee Barnard was a weeks stay in a wonderful ski chalet.

The evening was enjoyed by all and raised over £2,000 for the clubs funds.

Many thanks go out to all who attended and of course, all those who made such generous donations.
