Local scene It’s a wonderland at Mad Hatters Ball On Saturday 10th March, 150 guests arrived at Northwood House to journey ‘down the rabbit hole’ to Wonderland and raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. They were greeted at the door by Alice, The Mad Hatter and their friends. Luke Steen entertained them before they sat down to a three course meal by All About Catering. Heads & Tails, a raffle and an auction, presided over by Rebecca Ball, provided lots of entertainment and the organisers are grateful to all those who donated prizes. After dinner, Stone’s Throw warmed up the dance floor, followed by a DJ set from Rob da Bank which kept guests on their toes until the small hours. Gary Field Photography’s photo booth provided much mirth as guests used the props and digital backgrounds to record their evening. A wonderful night was had by everyone and £8,470 was raised for a fantastic charity. The organising committee consisted of Steph Burgess, Andy Flux, Kate Wilson, Tracy & Chris Rickman.
