Meanwhile, Manorlands is again staging a trip to the annual Sue Ryder dance at the famous Blackpool Tower ballroom.

The excursion has been a huge success in recent years, with high demand for places.

The dance this year is on Friday, November 13, (6pm-1am), but Manorlands is organising a package deal for the weekend costing £60. The price includes coach travel to and from Blackpool, bed and breakfast and evening meals at a hotel, tickets to the dance, and Saturday-evening hotel entertainment. Also, transport will be provided between the hotel and the dance.

Manorlands fundraiser David Gott says: "This dance is always extremely popular and we are delighted to be able to once again provide a special deal. All profits from the package will go to the hospice."
