Wynyard Hall was again the stunning venue for our second Dragonfly Ball which was held on 7 October 2011.

Guests, including Tony Mowbray and a number of his backroom staff, enjoyed a three course meal before funds were raised in an auction and a raffle in which all prizes had been generously donated.

The lucky star raffle prize winner, Christina Marron, a regular in the Fenton Room at the Riverside walked away with a week’s holiday at Colin and Julie’s apartment in Southern Spain with flights and car hire.

We then moved onto the entertainment for the evening, which was provided by Jason Isaacs (a fantastic swing singer from Newcastle) and Syren (a local trio of singers, who are aptly named) who got everybody on the dance floor into the early hours.

Mention must also be made of former Boro star Graham Kavanagh who performed his own inimitable version of Brown Eyed Girl.

An enjoyable evening was had by all and a five figure sum was raised for the charity.
