Kirkby Rotary Club’s Forties and Fifties Swing Dance Night at Kirkby Festival Hall, which was preceded by a craft fair, was a success.

Music for the dance night was by Ravenshead Swing Band, an 18-piece group of amateur musicians.

Stalls at the Crafts, Community and Charity Fair were taken by 25 organisations to sell, demonstrate and promote their products and services.

Millside Radio, which broadcasts at King’s Mill Hospital, Sutton, was live on air from the event for several hours.

Rotn Philip Hurt, club president, said: “The fair went really well and the dance was buzzing.

“We made a substantial amount that we can now, over the coming months, plough back into our community projects and charities.

“It was a brilliant effort by the Rotarian organisers and all the members who helped on the day.

“It was a great example of Rotary teamwork in action and having fun too.”
