Mayor of Malmesbury, Cllr. Kim Power said: “It was one of the best evenings I have enjoyed in a long while.

"The company was great, the meal was excellent and the music and dancing were fabulous! 

"Above all though, I can’t believe how generous people were - both those companies and individuals donating to the silent auction and raffle and those who bid for items or bought tickets.

"I am over the moon that the event raised in the region of £2,500.

"During current tough times, these funds are very needed and I am so grateful to all who helped to make this happen.”
