KIRKWOOD Hospice is holding its annual fundraising dinner next month.

It will be at the Cedar Court Hotel, Ainley Top, on Saturday, March 5.

Guests will be welcomed to the event with a buck's fizz reception before having a four- course meal.

After-dinner entertainment will be by the Chequers band and the guest speaker, BBC presenter Harry Gration.

The event is being sponsored by Holmfirth Dyers.

Organisers hope to top the £5,000 raised at last year's dinner.

Hospice fundraiser Jane Dutton said: "The annual dinner is very well supported by local people."

Tickets for the dinner cost £27.50. They can be bought individually or by the table (12 people). For details phone Jane on 01484 557911.
