ROYAL Marines charity Go Commando is holding its first major fundraising ball for 480 guests at Taunton School on Saturday, October 29.

This promises to be one of the highlights of the local social calendar and an extremely worthwhile one.

The money raised will help increase the number of Royal Marine families the charity can support across the South-West.

Plans for the evening are now well under way and include great live music, table magician, live and silent auction offering amazing ‘money-can’t-buy’ experiences.

The latest high-performance Nissan super cars will also be on display courtesy of Wellington Motors.

Tickets are now on sale priced £65 or £750 for a table of 12, including pre-dinner drinks reception, three-course meal and half bottle of wine per person. Alternatively, the charity is offering a unique opportunity to buy a table of ten also for £750 but this includes sponsoring a Royal Marine and partner to join you as guests of your table for the evening.

Tickets can be booked on 01460-234952 or e-mail events@gocommando.org.uk
