A charity dinner-dance has helped raise money for charity.

More than 170 people attended the black tie function organised by Lichfield District Council chairman Cllr David Smith at Drayton Manor.
The event raised money for the Chairman’s chosen charities – the Friends of St Peter’s Church in Stonnall, Lichfield Cathedral’s East End Appeal and Forces Children’s Trust.
Councillor Smith said: “My wife Gay and I would like to thank everyone who joined us for a wonderful evening. It was an opportunity to meet with civic heads from the county, as well as councillors, representatives from businesses and other organisations.
“I am really grateful to everyone who contributed to the event, including buying their tickets to the dinner, offering fantastic raffle prizes and charitable donations, as well as buying raffle tickets and sharing their good company – thank you all.”
