Having a ball for village play area
THERE is a chance to dine and dance to keep youngsters in the swing at a local playground.
The Bempton and Buckton Playground Action Group, which raised about 36,000 for a playground for the two villages, is holding its annual Christmas fund-raising ball at the Expanse Hotel, in Bridlington, next month.
The group, started by a handful of local mums more than two years ago, opened the playground in September last year but the fund-raising has to continue.
It costs about 1,300 a year in running costs, including maintenance and insurance and safety inspections, to keep the playground open.
The group hopes the ball will equal previous events and raise about 600.
Tickets for the ball, to be held on Friday, December 19, cost 29.50 per person and include a three-course meal, live band, disco and raffle.
They are available from Bempton Post Office on 850438.
